You are talking as if the 3DS did not also got Pokemon. The 3DS even got another two massive franchises exclusively for it as Yokai Watch, a new hit like Pokemon to the GB and Monster Hunter, a very consolidated franchise.

The 3DS will end up with at best 2/3 of the GB and the WiiU 1/3 of the SNES.

There you can see the answer of why one duo was good and the other was not so much.

Those later system had the power to keep seeling for that long, it's their merit, not an excuse.

It's like saying the Wii is actually best than the PS2 because it sold a ton very fast then died, and the PS2 sold a lot for way longer, even after it cycle had a sucessor, but that's PS2 merit and Wii fault.

 

It may stand for the SNES but the GB and GBC are like two separate systems in themselves to the point it's two separate gens. Look at the difference between Pokemon Gold/Silver and Red/Blue, GBC had a considerable jump over the GB that's why it sold over that time, it would be like if the DS and 3DS were classed as one device despite the differences and their sales were combined.
