Yeah, I don't get why DS and DSi are counted as one. Isn't DSi with a better(twice?) processor and more(8 times?) ram?

How it is with wii and gamecube? Twice as powerful processor and twice as much ram?

Actually the spec increases for GBC, DSi and Wii all are very comparable (about 50% higher clocked, about 3-4 times the main RAM).  The core difference is in the branding though... Nintendo considers Wii wholly distinct from GameCube and approached every aspect of the system that way.  For GBC and DSi however they consider them extensions to the already established GB and DS platforms, not new platforms in and of themselves.

What's best is probably just going by what the hardware maker considers, as pretty much everyone plays with clocks, revisions, etc, over the course of most successful platforms' lives.
