| KLXVER said: Well Nintendo has never made a more successful console with a similar name. Super NES sold less than the NES |
Keep in mind that the SNES also had more competition from SEGA Mega Drive which shifted 30~ million.
The NES had that generation locked up as they were the ones that reinvigorated a dying industry.

Keep in mind that the Gameboy Advance was released in 2001 and Nintendo released the DS in 2004.
So it only had 3 years to truly shine without competition or a successor.
The Gameboy on the other hand came out in 1989 and was revised in 1996 with the Gameboy Pocket and that continued with the Gameboy colour in 1998. - That family didn't stop until 2003.
So that system technically had 12 years to shine in the market.
And despite the Gameboy Advance having the impact of the DS for the majority of it's life, it still sold 81~ million units.
I think that's a fair effort for the GBA.
