Development sources have told NOM UK that they're expecting to take delivery of development kits for the Game Boy Advance's successor before Christmas. The technology is all but finalised, so this gives developers time to ready titles for a predicted 2004 launch.
If Nintendo Europe is reporting this, would the same be true for us here in the US?

Doesn't it feel like the GBA and Gamecube just came out? yet they're already being replaced. I dunno know... i don't feel like i've gotten enough use out of my cube or gba.... just as long as they're all backward compatible, it won't be that big of a deal.

I think it's too soon for a new console, but I also think Nintendo needs to do it. The PS2 needs a succesor sooner, and since theother two companies want to keep up, they will release sooner. That means the power of the hardware will most like be the same, meanning the games would be the descision (for the most part) which means Nintendo will be much better off.
As long as the N5 is backwards compatible w/ the GC, I'm fine, since most likely my parents will by the N5 for me for Christmas.

I'd bet that Nintendo will wait for $ony to deliver their Psp. Then 6 months to a year later, after the hype dies down, Nintendo will release their system, probably at a lower price point and with better hardware specs. Heck it will probably have longer battery life as well.

Yeah, and that sort of plan really helped Nintendo with the GameCube didn't it. It also worked wonders during the N64 generation as well. Both the PlayStation and the PlayStation 2 got released ahead of Nintendo's console and both of Nintendo's consoles had better hardware. Despite this Sony managed to take the throne away from Nintendo. Don't think for a minute that the PSP isn't a possible threat to the Game Boy. It's arrogant thinking that has gotten Nintendo in trouble in the past and by releasing the Next Game Boy in time to compete with the PSP shows that they have learned from their past mistakes.
