Which generation a console "comes from" is an abstraction. Its meaningless in the household, and especially in "this generation", where the venerable PS2 still manages to compete. Ignoring it is... like turning a blind eye to the facts that it does exist, and that it still sells (quite well), and thus presents signifigant competition. You could consider the original PS2 as being the "high-end" of the 6th console generation, from Sony, and the slimline PS2 the "low-end" of the 7th generation (from Sony)... but its not considered that way... and for no good reason. Drawing arbitrary lines with the "generation" concept doesn't help us evaluate the market. Excluding the PS2 from the front page is a serious flaw in this site's presentation, IMO. Comparing the other 3 numbers, and not including consoles which are still in production only truly satisfies the fanboys.

Fanboy like you judging by your prediction... Also GBA sold really well in 2006 and even early 2007 and its sales wasnt on the front page.
