Nintendo may ‘refresh’ DS if sales momentum does not continue

Lazard Capital Markets analyst Colin Sebastian has said he believes that \”Nintendo could launch a refresh of its handheld platform if sales momentum does not continue.\” The prediction comes after Nintendo announced that it \”plans to accelerate DS sales momentum with further penetration into the consumer mass market and by introducing new software and services for the platform.\” Lizard Capital say they have expect DS unit sales in the U.S. of 6.4M in 2008 but they believe this forecast might be conservative.
