Are you serious ? Everyone knows that. Even Miyamoto said it: 

https://gizmodo.com/205275/miyamoto-says-the-wii-is-basically-a-gamecube

"‘The hardware is basically a GC. We’ve upgraded our development tools to new versions but, you can still use GC programs as they are. With that in mind, I thought we could remake GC titles for the Wii and modify them to work with the Wii remote so that they’re more fun to play.’

The Wii was it's own console because of it's controller. If the PS4 is different from PS3 because of more powerful hardware, the Wii is different from GC due to the controller. And DS is certainly not GBA. And the Wii U internally was very different from Wii.

The original post I've quoted stayed that a new Switch with basically a more powerful hardware and pretty much new features but overall the same hardware would be nice but since it's Nintendo, it wouldn't happen. So I decided to show how that exactly what Nintendo is actually doing it for years, releasing pretty much the same console with more power and new features. The Wii added motion control to the Gamecube with more power and the Wii U added HD support and the gamepad. The DS added a second screen to the Game Boy Advance and the 3DS added 3D support, with obviously more power every time.
