It is either that each console has their own gen for example 6th gen: PS2 7th gen: Gamecube 8th gen: Xbox 9th gen: Wii 10th gen: 360 11th gen: PS3 12th gen: Wii U
Because the difference in power between the Xbox and PS2 is the same difference between Wii and Xbox 360. If Wii was not competing for the same consumers as PS3 then PS2 was not competing for the same people as Xbox.

Wii, 360, and PS3 are from the same generation imo, and Wii U PS4 and 720 are the same. Otherwise they all have their own gen with the difference in power.
