The increased spec was necessary to handle the color display.
Exclusive games happen on many newer model consoles but that does not make them a new product. DSi will have exclusive titles, PSP3000 will either have exclusive titles or reduced features on older models, there were a few exclusive expansion pack N64 games (including a Zelda title), Same with the Saturn expansion pack, etc....
EDIT:
I don't get it. Do you most of you not read the whole thread or ignore those that are providing facts? The GBC is a new model of the Gameboy. Unless somehow the entire industry has been wrong all these years, you guys are ones that are incorrect though given this, I haven't seena single one of you accept that. You just continue to poitn out the same invalid arguments like they are going to change things just for you.
