I'm sure you can expect future GAMEBOYs to play old gameboy games. But the DS is the 'third pillar.'
If they did come out with a next generation Gameboy, I would be surprised if it did play the old GB and GBC games. At some point you have to start cutting the older generations.
Now if they would bundle Tetris into the DS from the get-go they could solve the problem plain outright
As for the whole NDS thing... I was looking for an answer to my question and kept seeing NDS, so when I posted I used NDS not even really thinking.
Edit: wouldn't / didn't -> would / did.... silly double negatives
