It might just be another re-design like the SP was or maybe Nintendo is planning a second handheld to go along with the GBA/SP. The GBA/SP would remain as the 2D Gameboy while the new Gameboy will be for 3D gaming and marketed more at "hardcore" gamers.
There will always be a market for 2D handheld games but if there is indeed going to be a market for 3D handheld games soon also, it just makes sense for them to be on seperate handhelds.

Yeah, that's what I was saying. Nintendo could release a new GB for 3D gaming to compete with the PSP while continuing to support the GBA/SP. So it wouldn't really be a "successor" like the GCN was to the N64, but instead, co-exist with the GBA/SP.

With all three systems going for a release around the same time, the Nexter Generation, I have a feeling, will be the deciding factor for who stays, and who is shown the door.
