DS: DS Lite "Onyx" Has Been Discontinued

A rumoured GameStop daily newsletter states that the Nintendo DS Lite "Onyx", or Black as most call it, has been discontinued:
DS Lite Onyx hardware systems have been discontinued and stores will no longer be replenished on this product. Once your store sells through its current stock of this item, please remove any empty DS Onyx display boxes (onyx color only) from the sales floor and discard. Please continue to display the other colors of the DS Lite system display boxes on the sales floor (eye level and above perimeter of DS software section, above the DS accessory section, etc).
This isn't very unusual, and is only to be expected when the DSi is coming out so soon, but I thought Nintendo was going to sell both simultaneously until the end of the year. Perhaps they thought that people would be confused by the DS Lite and DSi difference so made sure there was only one of them in each colour.
