the GameBoy and the GameBoy Color were released 10 years apart, other bundles, like the DS/DS Lite, the different Xbox360s were released in a manner of a few years, and the Color was suppose to have higher specs, so I really don't see why they'd count them together, except for the whole "we have sold 100 million gameboys." Also, the DS/DS Lite can play the exact same games, same with the different 360 versions. Same hardware, usually just different cases or slightly larger harddrive or something.
Yes, I would definitely not say that the GB/GBC is the equivalent of DS/DSL or the various PS3 SKUs.  On the other hand, it is clearly NOT an entirely different console like GB/GBA/DS or PS/PS2/PS3.  Sony's had problems with PS2 games playing on PS3s?  Imagine PS3 games playing on PS2s! 

AFAIK the GB/GBC situation is unique as far as this limited "forward compatability" feature.  I could be wrong.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
