WiiU is current gen cause Wii is dead but PS3 still has plenty of life. Yes they're the previous gen but that doesn't mean they're the old gen which is what they would have to be for PS4 to be current gen. LoS2 and GT6 aren't coming to next gen so I'm not willing to call them old news yet. |
The original Xbox stopped selling well before the PS3 and Wii launched, but nobody called the Xbox 360 "current gen" at that time. And nobody refers to the iPhone 4 as "current gen" just because they're still selling well.
"Generation" has a definition. People should use it correctly. In this case, the current generation is the newest generation that is currently available. That products are still being made with Android 3 in mind doesn't make it "current gen". That PS2 games were still being made in 2008 didn't make the PS2 "current gen". The phrase "current gen" refers to the CURRENT generation. Whether games are still being made for the previous generation or not is irrelevant.
And like I said, if you don't like referring to the PS4, XBO, and Wii U as "current gen", then you can make do with "new gen", which carries all of the meaning you want to convey without being WRONG.
