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?

The DS series has 2 CPU's. The DSi and DSi XL have 1 of the CPU's clocked twice that of the same CPU on the DS and DS Lite. But it's only accessible to DSiWare downloadable titles. All retail titles reduce the clock rate back to the DS and DS Lite speed.
RAM is similar. The DS and DS Lite have 4 MB's and the DSi and DSi XL have 16 MB's. But the extra RAM is not accessible to retail titles. Only the system operating system and DSiWare downloadable titles.

There it says that DSi has 2 cpus? Where did you see that it has only one cpu?
So... If DS can't run all the DSi titles and DSi has 2 times better processor and 4 times more memory, why is it considered the same?

He didn't say DSi only had one ARM chip, only that one one of them was upclocked.
You can't play FFXI on a PS2 slim. You can't play Kingdom Hearts BBS on a PSP Go. You can't play PS2 games on a PS3 slim. Why are they all considered the same as their previous system releases?

Okay, misread that part.
FF XI is one game, ps2 phat/slim have same specs. It is just one game which needs a peripheral.
I don't know what to think of PSP go. Does it have similar processing power/memory as PSP fat? I think the specs are the same. You are really clutching at straws on the KH game, it is just one game and you don't know if it will be available on PSN later. It is just about distribution channel, not distribution channel and hardware as it is with DSi.
PS2 and PS3 aren't considered to be the same console? In case you are referring to removed BC, does DSi play GBA games? Not that it matters. All PS3:s play all PS3 games in any case.
