A successor, regardless of specs.

Its like a father having a handicapped son....you wouldnt Not call the son the "next generation"? lol cmon

Well then how is the xbox part of the 6th gen as it's not a successor to anything?

Gotta start somewhere. But thats a creationism vs evolution debate.

Lolwut.

Creationism - unfounded religious belief.
Evolution - scientific fact

Not quite sure what your anaolgy has to do with defining console generation. Regardless, your definition doesn't work as it doesn't take into account brand new consoles meaning that from the get go, it's a flawed system.
