Lunacy8m from GadgetMadness had the super observant eye today when he posted a news gem on both Portagame and GadgetMadness. Could it be? Could we possibly see the DS in stores for the Holidays? Nestled in a Reuters story about Nintendo's financials (yawn) we found this little gem:

"In order to have the DS out by Christmas, we plan to start production late summer or early fall and boost production every month," Nintendo Senior Managing Director Yoshihiro Mori told a news conference.

"The shipment forecast for the DS, due out later this year in Japan and the United States, is more optimistic than Sony Corp's target to ship three million units of its PlayStation Portable (PSP), a new handheld due out later this year in Japan."

We have our fingers crossed!
