The New Nintendo DS is a Camera and Music Player

Nintendo is elevating its game console into another level. According to a report by Nikkei Business Daily, the company is making its final preparation to release a camera, music player and game console in one – the new Nintendo DS.

It is indeed a three-in-one deal and while this gadget is the only follow-up to the recently successful Nintendo DS Lite, the new Nintendo DS version promises to give more than what most gamers need.

The gadget will be exclusively released in Japan, but like the other gadgets, it will soon reach United States and the rest of the world.

Nintendo earlier said in a press release that they are going sell 28 million units of Nintendo DS. That quantity is 2 million short compared to their last year’s number. The company also slashed the price of the gadget from the original $189 (20,000) price into $159 (16,800).

The company is positive that the integration of a game console, camera and music player into one device has a good future in the market. While many modern mobile phones integrated advanced image capturing and music playing capability, Nintendo tries to push their gaming console by simply adding more functions.
