How should Nintendo drive it's market leader position over the next generations?

Then the Gameboy should be aligned with the NES due to being Nintendo's first handheld...
Or the SNES due to it's release year.

Gameboy released in 1989, SNES released in 1990.
SNES could play Gameboy titles.

It's not hard to surmise where the Gameboy is supposed to be grouped up... Hint: Not the Nintendo 64.
You are manipulating things.

Now one could argue the Gameboy Colour could be separated from the Gameboy and lumped in with the Nintendo 64, it did have Gameboy Colour exclusives that couldn't be played on the original Gameboy.

I used the years for gameboy, it's perfect that way, it's even more clear cut than the split you're proposing.

Anyway propose a metric and I'll put the numbers together. For me the one I proposed is the most simple and correct, but I am waiting for your idea.
