The DS isn't a substantial 'third pillar'. It's a gameboy with 2 screens. As a consumer I won't buy two new handhelds from the same company.

I've been pondering this myself the whole time.

How is this not GameBoy DS or Nitro or whatever.

I mean it would be one thing, if it followed it's own little thing, but then they went and made it backward compatible with the GameBoy?

I really do wonder sometimes.
