DS Finalized
Name, design and logo have all been set in stone. Unfortunately, price, launch date and launch games are still unknown.
The new design is far superior to the prototype shown at E3 and should definitely help push the system. The logo is simple but effective, but I still think they should have changed the name and made it part of the Game Boy family.
The Game Boy name has become synonymous with handheld gaming and would give the DS a huge initial push. Additionally, if Nintendo thinks they can really try this whole "third pillar" thing, I think they're going to be sorely disappointed. Game Boy and DS sales will cannibalize each other and with the PSP coming next year, Nintendo should be focusing on one machine. Then again, maybe I'm wrong. We'll just have to wait and see.
