The tech blog Ubergizmo has apparently acquired an internal memo from game retailer GameStop, which states that the most oldest version of the Nintendo DS currently on the market is being phased out.
The portion of the leaked memo regarding the Nintendo DS Lite reads as follows:
"New DS Lite systems (020288/020283/020289) have been discontinued and stores will no longer be replenished on this product. Once your store sells through its current stock of these units, please remove any corresponding DS Lite (Crimson, Black, and Metallic Rose) display boxes from the sales floor and discard."
The original DS, first introduced in 2004, was on the market for less than three years before being discontinued. The DS Lite has been available at retailers for almost five years, having first arrived in North America in June of 2006.
There has been no official word yet from Nintendo regarding the leak.
