Those official gen classifications are pretty useless. The Colecovision from a hardware perspective was a new gen console compared to the Atari 2600.
Also the Colecovision did not emulate Atari 2600 games, basically an expansion module included all of the Atari 2600's technology. Basically you added an Atari 2600 clone as an expansion.
