i was more highlighting “this is new hardware doing the same thing but better”. gb-gbc is the same CPU, just faster. gba-gbasp is the exact same hardware.
new 3ds also sort of fits that description but it’s a completely different system internally, just moulded into a DS form factor.
But it’s so much more than CPU. GameCube and Wii have the same CPU, but are possibly the most different in the list.
Gameboy color was a huge change at the time. It was smaller (about the same size as the pocket) and playing color games was a novelty: that was Game Gear’s main selling point.
As for GBA/SP, yeah they’re super similar but the form factor is quite different.

that’s why there’s no gc->Wii arrow, despite the Wii containing an entire gamecube!
