I think some people just use the term 'next gen' to refer to the newest hardware. I'll remind you we are still in the transitional stages and there are waaaay more people with 'current gen' (PS3) consoles than with next gen, so I still think it is appropriate to refer to them as next gen, since they are the newest thing on the market and relatively few people have them.
One point at which I would definitely say a PS3 should not be referred to as next gen is when the PS4 was announced. That's the official time. Otherwise I would say two years after the release of the last console in the generation is an appropriate time to change it to 'current gen'
I doubt you'll agree with me, but the way I see it, it's not really that important anyway what we refer to it as.
Been away for a bit, but sneaking back in.
