If we're defining generation by time, it's current gen

If we're defining generation by class of hardware power, it's last-gen

No one defines generation by how difficult it is to extract all the performance, like the article implies. If that were true, PS3 is part of the twenty-third generation.

If we  define generation by class of hardware power it is ONLY last gen when PS360 are the gen before last gen.  Since WiiU is clearly ahead  of the other 2 but also clearly behind PS4 and X1.

Your last paragraph makes no sense tho. You could theoretically run every Ps4 game on PS2 you would just have to take 1000 years to optimize it so it works. So then PS2 is a newer generation than PS4?  He does not say you are forced to squeeze out the potential  its more that he says you have to just TRY.
