The NX: 8th Gen or 9th Gen?

[bigtakilla]

Actually the DC launched just over 15 months before the PS2 in Japan, with the NA launches having a 13-month gap. Meanwhile, the DC was released four years after the PS1. The DC was much, much closer to the PS2 than it was to any fifth-gen system, and had it survived and live a full lifespan it would have spent its prime years competing with other sixth-gen systems. The NX meanwhile will be launching right in the middle of the current generation and will spend at least its first three years competing with the PS4 & XBO and not with any ninth-gen system. So, no, it's not the equivalent of calling the DC a 5th-gen console.

 

Except with Atari back in the 80s. One company, two second-gen systems. It has happened and the Wii U-to-NX situation could be counted as another instance.

Are you saying Xbone/PS4 will last 6 years? Lol. Maybe PS4 with PS4k, but Xbone stated they want to make the next console upgrade by "big numbers" I think he referred to it as. Xbone will only last 5 years, which means 2 years from now we can pretty much assume the new Xbox will have released. 

As for whether we get 2 8th gen consoles, if the NX is just a beefed up Wii U I can agree, otherwise no.
