I can't speak emphatically on the 3DS or new 3DS. But I a very sure abut the GBC though.

And yes nintendo still considered it the same platform.... but because something shares the same name doesn't make it the same platform the second it starts having its own exclusives.

It remains to be seen how nintendo will play it. But I don't see them supporting a cheaper NS and a more expensive NS+. Especially when we are likely to see a $199 NS about a year before we see a $299 NS+. I also expect them to make that version support the use of 4g data and whatnot. Its what I would do and how I would play it if I were them. 

They could easily sell another 30M of the NS+ at $299 then drop the price later too..... all the while keeping the "Switch" moniker going loner than a typical 6yr cycle. Especially when you consider that considering its form factor there will be very little to differentiate it from a more powerful successor.

I agree about GBC, it honestly should have been a different generation due to the huge amount of exclusives it had but New 3DS was just a few so I would argue strongly against it being a separate generation.

I dont see why they wouldnt support both a $199 Switch Mini & $299 Switch Plus at the same time.

They supported a $129 2DS & $199 New 3DS XL at the same time.

Sony is supporting a $299 PS4 Slim & $399 PS4 Pro at the same time.

Microsoft is supporting a $299 Xbox One S & $499 Xbox One X at the same time.

Well for me GBA (or GBC), DSi and N3DS are type of new gens as what defines a gen is a stronger HW with games that can't be played on the older one. But considering the percentage and same name, and now we having the PS4Pro and X1X that doesn't have exclusives. For uniformity we could just call then mid-gen refreshes.

I just want to say that Shadow reminds me of TheSource in early VGChatz days. Their dedication to these charts are unparalleled.
Thank you for doing this every month even though you're not getting the recognition you deserve. I personally do love and enjoy them.

Well I would say Shadow is very much respected and recognized in here.
