I could actually see it happening late this year. DS sales have slowed down slightly - especially in Japan - and a redesign would simply rocket sales. I am almost certain that it will occur by the end of 2010 though.

Why release a redesign when they can just slash the price? The DS lite in Japan has yet to price drop

Because more money is to be made off a redesign.

You sure about that? I'm not exactly an expert on these things, but I would say designing and shipping a whole new model can get pretty expensive.

 Well I was assuming that a pricecut and new model will be released at some point in its life. To do a redesign and sell millions of units at the current price would be more profitable than doing a price cut and then later doing a redesign and selling millions of units at a lower price.

Thats my reasoning at least.
