I think DSi is a new generation. The same way PS2+Eyetoy was a new gen. And a PS2 with microphone is a new gen. And Wii with balance board is another different gen. And the Wii with WM+. So on so on.

Every single sh*t that comes out that produces exclusive games means a new gen.

Eyetoy could be used on every PS2. Same gen as PS2.

Microphone could be use don every PS2. Same gen as PS2.

Balance board can be used on every Wii. Same gen as Wii.

Now, Monster Finder and System Flaw cant be played on every DS... What does this mean?

 

Final Fantasy XI can't be played on every PS2. Is the slim a different console from the Phat?

How cant it?

As of December 2004, it is widely believed that Sony is no longer interested in supporting the hard drive. The new slimline model of PlayStation 2, which replaced the older, larger model in November 2004, is not capable of using the hard drive and while Sony has stated they are investigating alternatives, it is thought that none will be forthcoming due to the relatively late date in the product's lifecycle. The absence of support for the HDD in the slimline PS2 also means that Final Fantasy XI can only be played on older PlayStation 2s. Sony's public response at the time of the introduction of the slimline PS2 (in mid-2004) was that "the more hardcore [HDD-interested] gamers...already have their PlayStation 2 units," according to a company statement.

I don't even think there is even a homebrew way of doing it.

Never knew that, you learn something new every day

So... what are your conclusions then?

My conclusions are that DSi should still be counted seperately from DS, but in the same gen. As i said earlier.

If a console/handheld has its own exclusives... for me it is a seperate platform altogether.

Then should the PS2 Slim and Phat be counted seperately?
