Replies in bold, you seem to think that the be-all and end-all of which generation a console is in is simply adding 1 onto the generation of whatever systems it is the successor to, which is a completely flawed way of thinking, what if Sega released a Dreamcast successor, would that be part of the 7th generation? If that's not the case then if you could clarrify your actual defintion of a generation that would be Swell. There has to be a defintion for why a particular set of consoles is grouped together in a generation.

 

According to whom exactly forum goers? Gens are pretty much like the whole casual/core nonsense the loud minority have given them their own set definition when the only was ever an open vague definition of the term. The definition forum goers came up with was built around the state of the industry at the time hence why now as the industry changes and branches out people start saying gens are dying out when they aren't the chosen definition has just become outdated as it was chosen for a different era.
