Even though it does not say GameBoy on the box, I've heard plenty of people call it the new GameBoy. That goes for parents looking to buy a new handheld, to employees at large chain stores who don't know any better. This was especially true when I went christmas shopping. People would ask "Do you have any of the new GameBoys? Not knowing that it is actually called DS. They just associate Nintendo handheld with Gameboy. And the sales person would say the new GameBoys are more expensive, $150 then point them at the SP and say this one is cheaper, but it is not the newest Gameboy.
For Nintendo, I thinks its safe to say that this is where a majority of there handhelds get sold. To parents looking for new Gameboys for their children and they don't know the difference.
