1) Does release date determine gen? no
1ii) Does hardware determine gen no
1iii) Is it a mix of the above?
2) Do consoles even determine gen or is it the game engines?
game engines we usually see new ones at start of gen during a gen they get modified
3) Are PC's involed with gen in anyway? w/o PCs we wouldn't have new game engines there gen usually starts a 1yr or 2 before consoles
4) Do we, or will we, have to start considering tablets/smartphones as being part of gaming gen? idc i only play consoles that have a traditional controller but i believe they will or have there own gens
5) Do we even need the label of gen? yes for teh stats
for me its when it can play 3rd party next gen games so for ex. if the next ps or xbox cant match or exceeded what we saw with BF3 farcry3 and will see with crysis 3 on PCs then it aint next gen
