I tell you what.  Why don't you send a letter of petition to every developer, publisher, retailer and media outlet and set them all straight.



 

I don't care if Jesus Christ says it, unless you can show me where a handheld is listed amoung first generation CONSOLES, then the 3DS and Vita can't be eight generation. As far as I know, the first handheld to have seperate carts was Microvision, and that came out when home consoles were in the second gen. So even if you shift the goal posts with everything you have, the 3DS could only be seventh generation.

But, of course, lumping handhelds with home consoles is like lumping motorcycles with automobiles. But, it seems we're leaving logic and common sense off the table right now so, I won't even bother.

i agree with spokentruth's idea that they are in the same generation. i see your point about how the handhelds have their own generations, i really do see the logic there. but for practical and, well.. common sense purposes, its better to think of them in the same generation. like.. generation 8 includes wii u, ps4, x1, 3ds and vita. nintendo is currently supporting the wii u and 3ds in this generation. the 8th generation is defined by systems and games that are released or coming out between the years 2012/2013 until 2018/19 or whenever the next round of consoles is out. i mean, thats just the way it is and the only one who is moving goal posts around is you, im sorry to say.
