Nintendo to Discontinue Gameboy Advanced and Micro?

With the recent redesign of Nintendo.com the only two products featured on the homepage are the Wii and DS. Digging through the site there is no mention anywhere of the existence of things like the gamecube or the gameboy. But I happen to still have the link to the old gameboy advanced website http://www.nintendo.com/channel/gba It links to a pretty interesting page:
OLDER SYSTEMS, GAMES, and ACCESSORIES

Older systems, such as the Game Boy Advance, Nintendo Game Cube, Nintendo 64, NES, Super NES, Virtual Boy, or older Game Boy systems may be more difficult to find as retailers tend to only stock the newer systems. In most cases, the only option is to buy used or refurbished products.

Certainly the new site is nicer looking than the old one. But considering I can still go pickup a gameboy advanced sp at the local walmart... it may be premature to strip them from their website. At one point Nintendo was saying that the DS was a seperate line from the gameboy and they would continue to develop independently. This to be no more?
