Um, Should We Be Talking About This?

We don’t think it’s very politically correct, but Gamespot claims that “colored” (”collared,” if you’re on NBC’s “The Office”) Nintendo DS models have doubled sales in Japan.

Nintendo released its new Graphite Black and Pure White color models of the DS on March 24. The company will also be releasing two additional tinted models on April 21–Turquoise Blue and Candy Pink. New colors don’t mean a new price. The cost remains 15,000 yen ($139). Nintendo has not announced plans to release colored DS models in the US.

Something tells us the Red States won’t be as open to their teenage boys playing “Candy Pink” DS units as the Japanese. But we’ve been wrong before (psst! No we haven’t!).
