According to German gaming website Game Front, the original Nintendo DS may soon cease production. This news comes as several Japanese retailers have claimed that they have not received their orders for the original DS for over a month; instead retailers have been receiving shipments of the new Nintendo DS Lite. This has fueled speculation that Nintendo may be phasing out the original DS in favor of the Lite, which has seen spectacular sales since it first launched in Japan in March of this year. Currently, Nintendo has not yet issued a statement confirming or denying the rumor.
