I don't buy that Nintendo is trying to clear stock, I also doubt they will discontinue the DS anytime soon. With the XL only on the market for a few months I bet that Nintendo has some longer term plans. Also with several big software titles on the way for DS, several big first party titles like Pokemon and GoldenSun then I really can't see them jumping ship any earlier then 2012.
I think Nintendo is probubly phasing out the Lite and possibly even reducing numbers of DSi's on the market to enable DS:XL to sell a bit stronger!
In the end the DS is not going anywhere soon, despite the 3DS's appearance!
