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. 

That question is in the realms of logic, as in adhere to a hypothesis being logically criticised. 

Scientific logic isn't altered by probability. 

If you ignore hardware, then how can you even determine a successor? How is the 360 elite not the successor of the 360? 

 

 

the next generation xbox containing 1khzcpu and 1kb ram is no where in the realms of logic. its not a probablity. 

and because the 360 elite contains the same parts to run the same games on the original 360. the run the same games and have the same specs. no increase in ram, no increase in cpu, or a better gpu.
