Dunno001,
Never heard of this 'lost generation' before. Those consoles are considered in the generation of consoles I compared them with by everyine in the industry.
The Gameboy Color is to Gameboy as the Gamboy Advance SP is to Gameboy Advance or DSi is to DS. Same gen. And why don't you consider the Nomad a portable? It fits all the qualifying definitions to be a portable console.
We're both off a bit on the PS2 bit depth.
PS2 is a 64 bit CPU and a 128 bit GPU just like the Dreamcast. Though it only has a 32 bit memory adressing system.
The Xbox and GC had 32 bit CPU's and 64 bit GPU's. But even then there different bit depths inside the CPU and GPU. Marketers would label their console with the higher bit depth number in the console regardless of its relevancy to performance or similarity to other comporability to other bit depths in other consoles.
