GB did have 3 differing shell releases, but GBC wasn't one of them, it was a new platform entirely really.Grecco said:Theres also precedent for mutliple revisions. GBA had 3 different versions so did GB (Pocket, Light, Color). Nintendo can make it cheaper, nicer and in the end make more money.
If we count adapters too though, then there's been 4 GBs, 2 GBCs and 4 GBAs.
Being fair, so did PS2... unless you were one of the ~200k JP FFXI players. :lolcharlequin said:- DS received a hardware update that obsoleted the original model; sooner or later, almost all purchasers of the DS Phat can be relied upon to purchase a replacement Lite.
DS has actually had less shell color revisions than PS2 in Japan to this point irrc. It's had more "special edition" bundles though I think.charlequin said:- Some people will purchase multiple DSes for collectible edition/new color reasons, which was not a major factor for the PS2.
