When we refer to generations, we are speaking about their graphic and processing capabilities. So no, I am not out of line when I say that graphics are important.

Third Generation - 8 bit era
Fourth Generation - 16 bit era
Fifth Generation 32/64 bit era
Sixth Generation - 128 bit era

 

Dude.. so we are all stuck in the fifth generation?? there are no 128 bit processors....

the ps3 cell is 64 bit...

128-bit graphics chips.

 

The Emotion Engine was a 128 bit processor due to the 128 bit vector processing units, does that mean the PS2 and PS3 are in the same generation? At the same time the XBox's CPU and GPU were both 32 bit processors, does that mean that the XBox was in the same generation as the Playstation?

Bits became an unimportant measure of performance when we moved past 32bit architectures...
