Your race-mantra over and over again with no new arguments, which support your claim that it is a race with a clear-cut end and that it always has been that way.

So where is your precedent? Which former console or handheld is predominantly seen as the "winner" of its generation, but had only the most sold units up to a certain point? Which former "winner" was overtaken after the start of the next generation, but everybody agrees, that it didn't count anymore?

Common sense doesn't need a precedent. You can't win a generation if you were outsold during that generation.

The goal of the console manufacturers is not, to have a race which console sells best up to an arbitrary point, then let the product die if that point has passed.

The goal of the console manufacturers is, to sell a console as long as it's profitable and drives the customers to buy additional products connected to that console (games, accessories, subscriptions, other content like movies and music...) and keep those customers for further purchases. It's common sense!
