What do you guys think? Nintendo seems to group the Gameboy & Gameboy color together in sales figures as if they're the same system but that seems debatable if they are. The Color had a large amount of exclusive games and had more capable hardware of course with a better display and graphical experience.

While yes stuff like the DSI & New 3DS had a few exclusive games and more powerful hardware, there were barely any exclusive games compared to the Gameboy color to justify calling the color just a mid gen refresh.

Out of 576 games released for the Gameboy Color, only 30% were compatible with the OG Gameboy. That is way too many exclusive games to not be considered a successor, hundreds of games right there.

But what do you guys think, I look at the Gameboy Color as a successor tbh.

Their creator always saw them as one gen only, that's your answer.
