No, numerous people stop replying when I point out the contradiction in their argument. You just said hardware requires an upgrade to be next gen. Now, why does improved power consumption not count? And why was the GC not a gen above the PS2, or the xbox a gen above the GC?

I explained this in my last post. Top of the page.

Which leads us back to the point then that the PS1 and xbox wouldn't be part of any generation as they are not successors to anything. Either that or you are choosing to use arbitrary rules. 

When a console has no forerunner, it falls into the generation of its contemporaries. That's common sense.
