I think it would an interesting route to take. It would certainly make Switch's 7-10 year lifespan a reality. But it would add so much confusion. I still don't think we have clear numbers on how much the GBC hardware sold. People try to look at dates and estimate. But I don't think the GB was discontinued until 1999, months after the GBC came out.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 151 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million)
PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 57 million (was 60 million, then 67 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
