Killeryoshis, thats an interesting reason. I think Ruby/Saphire had more like 18 months before the DS came out at least in America and more in Japan. But Diamond/Pearl have certainly been out longer than that without a followup console. I had forgotten how quickly the DS came out after the GBA, but I now remember that is why their had been the talk from Nintendo about the DS being the "third pillar" of their hardware, before the DS really caught on and they allowed the GBA to die off.
