Kind of like how people reasonably separated Game boy and Game boy color sales figures in the past, right? |
well, since you brought it up ... I humbly disagree with the idea of adding number of "Gameboy Color" in the total number of gameboys, for a very simple reason ...
Old Gameboy, before the color> Hardware Review, better display, lower power consumption, lighter and smaller console, etc ... a lot of changes that did not create the classic division between "old generation and new generation", ie all games running on all versions of the console. (Or, at least, the overwhelming majority, something crushing, like, 2-3 games only work with a specific version.)
Gameboy color> consider the gameboy color a new generation and a different product, because there are several games that only worked on the gameboy color. Yes, there were games made for gameboy color / gameboy Old, but begins from the moment that the gameboy color gained "significant number of exclusive for gameboy color" and the idea "my old gameboy can not run it, I need to buy the new Gameboy Color to play this exclusive game for gameboy color! "at this point there was a break and sales gameboyXGameboy color should be treated separately.
This is my humble opinion, you can agree or not.
