No I said the GBA sold what it did quicker in a time of no other competition as opposed to following gens where the portables out had competition and mobile to deal with yet inspite of mobile the portable market as a whole has increased the number of units sold, you've yet to counter this in anyway tbh your only response was to cherry pick regions in a null and void argument. The Xbox part of your argument is showing hypocrisy as you claim GBA had room to grow but not the original Xbox which many at the time felt was cut too short in order for MS to gain a head start in gen 7, sorry but I have to dismiss this view.
What are you on about GB beat out SNES/MD combined and individually, waht are you even talking about here it's like you're not even reading the entire posts and only certain lines at this point.
Again your whole NES part highlights moving goal posts trying to compare 3 gens of consoles to one gen, this part of your argument makes little sense other than you trying to save a heavily debunked argument as first you claimed consoles were always on top then when shown how the GB demolished the consoles in its gen you then try to move GB to the PS1 gen only to realize that GB still outsold all the platforms there so now it's GEN 1/2/3 total against the GB's total (one platform) okay mate we see what you're attempting here, what's funny is that the argument highlights what I said in portables always having equal footing when you need to attempt such an argument. The flaw in what you've attempted here is that many of the sales of later platforms ignores the fact that many consumers already had the GB when later platforms arrive so when the platform is at 118 which individually is more than all platforms that came previously it won't sell much more because the consumers buying the new platforms will already have bought it.
You seem to not be reading posts properly as I didn't say their portables weren't more powerful than their previous I said the 3DS was made with a competitive increase which is different from just increasing power and functions in half decent jumps. 3DS had to be more powerful not only than the DS but the PSP as that's what the competition forced. DS used old tech yes but it also used something that many devices at the time didn't utilize, a touch screen interface, they fought with a ok jump and innovation and it was an approach that even Apple themselves took note of as it triggered their own use of touch screen interfaces in their own products. Sorry but their actions highlight that they had quite a lot of concern about the competition to the point that they dropped a successful platform to compete.
