In a bold and unlikely turn of events, Hirakazu Hamamura, who last week commented that he believes that Nintendo would reveal their new DS model at E3 this year, basically retracted his statement, claiming that wasn't what he meant and denies having said anything of the sort.

It's not like he broke the law or anything...he just gave a prediction on what he thought would happen. I guess it might have insulted some big wigs at Nintendo, especially if they decided to state that they had no intention of releasing a new DS version.
