It doesn't change the fact that your decision of which handheld belongs to which console "generation" is completely arbitrary, and thus your "statistics" on how many devices Nintendo sold each generation completely meaningless.
If you want to argue against that point, please go ahead and point out why you decided the Gameboy was part of the SNES "generation" and not the NES "generation" or the N64 "generation". Even though the Gameboy was released 2 years before the SNES, and, if you even want to call the Gameboy color a different console (it wasn't, unless you want use the same logic argue that the new 3DS is a new console and separate from the 3DS, which I see you haven't done) was replaced as Nintendo's flagship handheld 2 years after the release of the N64.
The only reason people use this "generation" argument is because it obfuscates Nintendo's declining sales with each console's successor (of course with the exception of the Wii and DS).
