Depends when you define the start and stop of a generation. If its start to start, then gen 7 goes from when the 360 was released in 2005 until the Wii U was released in 2012, so 7 years. Gen 6 was started with the Dreamcast in 1998, so if we go until the 360 was released then that was also 7 years.
If we go by start to end, then gen 6 went from 1998 to 2012 when the PS2 was discontinued, a whopping 14 years long. Gen 7 is no where near that long yet, and isn't likely to. So I don't see any flaw in comparing total home console sales between generations.
