MS, Sony, and Nintendo are still manufacturing their 7th gen consoles, so they obviously don't think the race has ended.  What we are bickering about is when the race ends.  History will judge the 7th gen race on when the consoles quit being manufactured.  That is how every generation has been judged to date.

Its that simple.

If they started selling N64s again and managed to sell more than the PS1 in total, it still wouldn't have won the 5th gen, any more than Germany can retroactively win WW2. PS4, Xbone, and Wii U are out now; the 8th gen has begun, the 7th is in the past.

They are not talking about retarting a race, just finishing one which never ended. Just because one competitor lost its legs after running too fast, it doesnt mean the others which were well paced cant beat it.
