No. I said hardware defines a gen, just like it does with everything else that exists, whether it's games or jet fighters.
Adding buttons is hardly a leap in a generation. Does then the bluray player of the PS3 put it a generation ahead of the 360 and Wii? See, as I said, if you ignore the power of the hardware, a lot of questions arise.

Among other things, the Ps3 brought Blu-Ray to this gen, the 360 brought a user friendly and highly efficient online ecosystem, the Wii brought motion controls.
All consoles don't need to be carbon copies of each others to be part of the same generation. I doubt you're whole family is composed of twins/triplets/etc.

Why was the bluray not seen as a generation above the 360 and Wii? Why was the GUI of the 360 not seen as a generational leap above the PS3 and Wii?
See, now you are introducing arbitrary rules. How exactly have you determined that the leap made with the bluray player is the same as the leap made with the 360 GUI?
