Yes the 3DS is the first 8th gen system, NGP will be the second. It might be a while before home consoles have 8th generation iterations though.

So the future of gaming is finally here and the "8th" gen has started

so in what area we see improvements over the "7th" gen systems?

Online everywhere with NGP is pretty awesome for portable system.

My point is that the 8th generation might have started for some but the next generation systems are still 2-3 years away.

Yes the 8th Gen has offically started because Handhelds are Consoles just like Home Consoles and they are compiting for the same marketshare.
