Will NX be an 8th generation console?

They never have been two different home console by the same constructor in the same gen, and it will never be.

As I said in the OP, both the Atari 2600 and Atari 5200 were part of the 2nd gen, so yeah two different home consoles by the same constructor and in the same gen has already happened.

That's what I was thinking. If NX launches in 2016 and it's 2019-2020 before the PS5/XB2 come out, I'm going to have to change my answer (that would be another clear instance of a second 8th gen system). 

Honestly, if the NX is on par with 8th generation hardware, lumping it in with those consoles would clean up any confusion going forward - as Nintendo seems hell bent on using old hardware each gen.
