Defined by who? And who defines the finish line? Don't be silly, 5 years from now when you'll be looking at top selling consoles you'll see PS3 number 2 or 3. You won't think "but it should be number 4 because the generation ended before it stopped selling".

The 7th gen is the period of the market in which the 7th gen consoles are the primary focus. That will end this year. In 2015, it will be a totally different market. The market of the 7th gen will not exist anymore. You can't "win" a competition that's long over.

According to...you? I'm not asking a subjective question. It is completely objective, and only refers to the final total sales of each console. You won't stop PS3 selling no matter when you think we should stop counting.

Total sales and winning a generation are not the same thing.
