I think it's more useful, albeit the graphs don't take into account crucial factors like pricepoints. IMO the breakup of consoles into generations is pretty much artificial, at least in the past the classification was based on CPU architecture, 8-bit generation, 16-bit generation and so forth. The Playstation did compete with the Snes at a time, the Nintendo Wii IMO competes more with the Slimline PS2 than it does with the PS3. |
Video games are an atificial concept in the first place. So are the economics that drive console gens. So is the concept of progress. So you aren't giving any real insight by that comment.
EDIT: I meant technological progress.
A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
