Game boy Colour was a new system that played a new type of game that would not play on a Previously released Gameboy.

That makes it pretty clear that they are two different systems.

That is all

 

 Stof is the Sega CD a new system? I mean you can't play Sonic CD on the Genesis without it or the 32X games games for that matter without the 32X. Yet they aren't counted as system sales.

How about the RAM expansion and perfect dark, DKC and a handful of others.

A lot of GBC games were able to be played on the original GB a few weren't. The DS and DSi are gonna have this problem the PS2 PS2slim had some of this problem. Some media wouldn't play on the first generation PS2s anyone who has one rememebrs looking for silver and blueback discs because some games didn't play on the -0001 series PS2 are they different systems?

I would say the question is is what market share developers looked at when developing for those systems and from what i have read many looked at the marketshare as whole which is why it is counted together. So they were GB games with enhancements that could only be unlocked in GBC but some made only GBC games by CHOICE because they wanted to go full hog or they were lazy about programming and didn't care about marketshare.
