Very good for the SP. The amount continues to be very good. I think Nintendo will release either the next GBA or another update to the GBA SP in a few years if sales like this continue, which almost undoubtedly will continue. Also, I would like to see if eventually the GBA takes over in sales over the SP. But its understandable since the SP costs more. And I know I shouldn't do this, but I just have this undeniable urge to do it. Check out the bolding I added.
