If we’re considering backwards compatibility, then the DS should have won. Because it could do everything the GBA could, and more.

I don't think the DS could play original game boy carts, could it? if I am misremembering I'm gonna be mad for the me that didn't know that when I got a DS. lol

Nah it couldn’t, the DS only supported its own and GBA cartridges.
