| leo-j said: Gameboy color was not a just gameboy with color, it was a new platform, hence the reason it had games specifically made for it.. |
New platform or not, Nintendo counted them together, and Advance seperately: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/ir/library/historical_data/pdf/consolidated_sales_e0912.pdf
The GBC is similar to the DSi. Nearly all GB/DS games work on the successor, some games were designed to work on the former with enhanced features for the latter, and some are exclusive to GBC/DSi. Nintendo totals all DS models together, but it now also gives data on individual models.
