Do console generations still make sense?

You are still under the assumption that console generation will still be around that time. Which many feel won't be true in the end. 

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand you. You mean under the assumption that the next PS and XBOX will release in 2014?

If that's the case, you're right, it's just an assumpion, but if it were true, does it still make sense to talk about generations?

Even if they release in 2013 and then 2021, and Ninty goes from 2012 to 2018, the generations are kind of screwed up.

No, I meant that many believe the "consoles" will not exist, well not in this sense come 9th generation. However, this is the 6th generation nintendo console, and might as well be called the 8th generation. 

OK, I understand. It's just a supposition, though.
