interesting, nintendo might have not been as concerned with the GC when they had the GBA, since they were kind of in a slump with having the gameboy sucessor being delayed for like HALF A DECADE at that point, with the GBC being a stopgap that only really didn't show any gaps in sales due to the pokemon craze.
Its the same thing with the wii U if you think about it. nintendo likely paniced at the 3ds's initial low sales so they literally did EVERYTHING they could to get it to sell, and only had time to go back to the wii U around the 3ds's year 3. the vita failing was just collateral damage due to nintendo pushing the 3ds so hard, i think.
remember, there were real threats to the gameboy color coming around around the end of its life cycle, untill the GBA came out and blasted all competion away to the point that the only portable threat nintendo ever faced afterwards is sony dumping a tonne of influence and money on the psp
