The technology definition is also one of time. It's one of when the technology was available, rather than the release date of the machine.
A couple of years back, there were a fair bit of people on VGChartz stating that the DS was a 5th generation machine, while the PsP is a 6th generation machine. Those people (at least most of them) were not trolling, they genuinely felt that was the best way of defining generations.
I don't agree with them, but those people are just wrong (or, well, have a slightly strange definition), and that doesn't make them trolls. Calling them trolls is just as wrong a use of the word as defining generations by technology is. Probably worse.
