I'll go with a simple definition: If it is the successor of a current gen system (not a new revision of the system!) it is a next-gen system. Yes, regardless of power.

So then a next-box containing a 1khz CPU and 1kb ram would be 8th gen?

"Keep all debate polite, reasonable and within the realms of logic."

thats in your OP, atleast ask reasonable questions within the realms of logic. your question isnt. i dont want to be rude but there are more than one user asking the same question in a way.
