Rumors: Nintendo working on a new variant of Nintendo DS

Market analyst Evan Wilson is claiming that the Japanese videogame console maker Nintendo is working on a third variant of third DS handheld gaming machine.

Nintendo already has two versions of DS in the market. This new model is unlikely to be released in the near future however.

Wilson said in his report: “Our contacts indicate that a refreshed DS is complete. It is thinner, has on-board storage, and larger screens. However, we do not expect a revamped Wii or DS until sales begin to tail off in all three major geographies.”

Nintendo DS is a worldwide hit and has already sold more than 55 million units.
