While you're fondling that new WaveBird, the lonely GBA sits on the table and gets older...
The Game Boy Advance was first released in North America on June 11, 2001. Since then it has sold over 6 million units in that territory, which NOA notes is equal to the population of Washington state, where their headquarters are located. Neat.
To commemorate the GBA's first birthday, Nintendo is releasing a limited edition Platinum-colored version.
