Well, technically it is a 9th gen console, and I don't think there can be much debate about that. It's obviously not the same generation as Wii U but the next one instead.

That said, the concept of universal console generations is becoming quite useless. Right now that's mainly because of Nintendo releasing new consoles earlier than competition, but it seems Microsoft is also keen on abolishing the concept of console generations, and Scorpio seems to be their first step on that path. That leaves only Sony following traditional generations, and if it's just Sony, it doesn't even make any sense to talk about universal console generations. Basically the situation is alreay a mess and doesn't look like it's getting any easier to understand.

Uh, someone remind me why we're talking about this for the 1000th time or so?
