The finish line is when all three manufacturers quit selling that generation of consoles.  Just because another gen started, it doesn't mean the last gen is over.

Multiple generations exist and overlap.  Someone forgot to send you the memo. Sorry.

No. It's the 8th gen now. The 7th is over.

This is a pointless semantic argument. Nintendo fans would love to sweep that gen under the rug in case of 360/PS3 sales surpassing Wii's, though. That's all I take away from this conversation continuing. If PS3 or 360 overtake Wii sales, what it does prove is that those consoles are ultimately a better value as they are getting continued software support. That's just my opinion, but continuing this conversation is pointless as you can't really define when a generation is over. Question is: If PS3 sales pass the Wii's are Nintendo fans just going to discredit it because the "7th gen was over"? I know the answer to that, but god is that a silly, fanboyish way of looking at things.

And Sony fans would love to extend the 7th gen into the 8th to try to paint the PS3 as the winner it wasn't.
