If you think WiiU is still 7th gen, wouldn't that make the PS4 7th gen?

Dude seriously? I told why I don't see it as a true next-gen system and you go copy paste text from Wikipedia like its' gonna change my mind. 

Laughable

Im not trying to change youre mind, im telling you your opinion is wrong.

If you told me you didnt like Vanilla Ice Cream, i couldnt argue with you.

but if you told me Vanilla Ice Cream tasted like crap, then i can tell you youre wrong, unless you have wierd taste buds. Thats just an example.

I don't think you understand how opinions work.

I do understand the difference between objectivity and subjectivity, but please, enlighten me

If that was the case, I think you would know that an opinion can't be wrong.

The reasons behind the opinion can be wrong though. Saying that the Wii U is 7th Gen, is factually wrong. 

If he wants to think that the Wii U is 7th gen, i cant make him think differently, but his reasoning is wrong.

Then it isn't an opinion, by definition.

It comes down to definitions. With the traditional meaning of the word "generation" the Wii U would be considered 8th gen. Somebody using the traditional definition who came to the conclusion that it was 7th gen wouldn't have a false opinion, because it wouldn't be an opinion at all. They'd just be wrong regarding a statement based around a particular definition. But a lot of gamers seem to have come to the consensus of an alternate definition for the word "generation" based around performance, which is fine (new words and definitions are invented by different cultures and groups all the time, their entire purpose is to describe something), so by their definition they would be correct.

This whole debate is stupid because it's just two different groups of people each using the same word (generation) to mean two different things.
