But it will make a significant number of others part with their money and Nintendo has figured how to take advantage of that pretty good over the years (release new color during slow period, release new color with a new game, release new color only when bundled with a certain game, etc).
(By the way, I took it as though you wanted a new color from your previous comment.)
Also, when marketing to a wider, more casual audience as Nintendo is doing, new colors can have an even better affect on sales (see iPod for example - a new color or slightly different design and Apple gets more sales immediately from the new color or slight change in design).
