Nintendo has been releasing new handheld revisions on virtually a yearly basis for a long time now. I guess we just kinda never noticed? They announced the DS a few months after the GBA SP was setting new sales records. They announced the 3DS the same month the DSi XL went on sale in the US, lol. Nintendo doesn't give two sh*ts about spacing out their handhelds. They will change course on a whim if they believe it suits their longer term interests.
