Nintendo has already finished work on its successor to the DS Lite, claims Pacific Crest Securities analyst Evan Wilson.

Released in Japan in March 2006, Nintendo’s redesigned DS handheld, the DS Lite, has regularly topped hardware sales charts on a global basis. In spite of this, Wilson says Nintendo already has its successor ready to go when the time is right, reports GameSpot.

"Our contacts indicate that a refreshed DS is complete," said Wilson in an investors note. "It is thinner (it has no GBA port), has on-board storage, and larger screens.”

However, acknowledging the sales success Nintendo is currently enjoying, Wilson said he doesn't expect the firm to launch any revised hardware until existing models suffer a notable drop in sell through in the major markets.

“… We do not expect a revamped Wii or DS until sales begin to tail off in all three major geographies."
