I think it depends on what the console maker wants to do with it. If it's like the N3DS and the console maker only wants to give it a couple of exclusives which can only be played on it then it's not a new console but if the console maker wants to literally outphase the previous console and there will be a ton of games exclusive coming to it then yeah it's a new console.
