There's nothing wrong with accepting a conventional value, and explaining to the OP that you're talking about that particular convention.
Making fun of him because "generations" has always meant chronological order doesn't make much sense, and shows ignorance of the usage of the term in technology.
Attacking him because of downplaying the Wii's graphical capabilities is beside the point. And speaking of sales is even more beside the point.

Giving much value to language conventions in the internet world is a slippery slope. We can debate on linguistics till next morning. But you must admit that the world changed, and that we tend to give the written words the bigger weight we used to when books were assumed to have gone through a peer scrutiny and review. Except that the freedom and sheer amount of information on the web implies that it usually does not happen.
As such, conventions can be born and die in a matter of months, no need to treat them as giants as their feet are of clay.
