not to get completly off track, but in my opinion, handhelds are handhelds and consoles are consoles. generations for them don't overlap.  If they did, you better start adding iphones and tablets.

What? Nintendo/Sony aren't releasing new handhelds annualy like Apple/Samsung are releasing phones.

I think that all he's saying is that generations for handhelds generally don't overlap. Consider the following:

1989 - Game Boy

1998 - Game Boy Color (Nintendo considers this to be part of the Game Boy family of systems, thereby treating this as a mid-gen upgrade).

2001 - Game Boy Advance

2004 - Nintendo DS

2008 - Nintendo DSi (mid-gen upgrade)

2011 - Nintendo 3DS

2014 - new Nintendo 3DS (mid-gen upgrade)

2017 - Nintendo Switch

Three handheld "generations" bridge the divide between the Game Boy and the Switch, yet four such "generations" separate the SNES from the Switch - despite releasing a year later than the Game Boy!
