It's 2012 and we have 3 pokemon games coming for the DS.
Black 2
White 2
Conquest.
Nintendo is now making a legitimate push to keep the DS selling, and it makes sense. Why? They won't turn a profit on a 3DS sold until ~October, and I'm sure the DSi nets Nintendo at least $40 per unit sold. ( Those things are still selling for $130 ). It's not a good long term plan to push the DS, but Nintendo is in need of any revenue they can get.
