Nintendo confirms cobalt/black DS
To be released February 10 in US
Nintendo has officially confirmed the rumour that they are releasing a new cobalt/black-coloured DS Lite.
The latest version marks the seventh colour in the DS Lite palatte, joining white, pink, onyx, crimson/black, gold and metallic rose - the latter of which are limited editions.
When asked earlier this week if such a colour was in the works, a Nintendo spokesperson would neither confirm nor deny, saying simply: "Nintendo has not made any announcements about a new color for DS."
Nintendo sold more than 8.5 million DS handhelds in the US last year alone, bringing the total to more than 17.6 million since the DS was launched in November 2004.
The new version will be available in the US on February 10.
