Your posts don't make much sense, if Generations are truly independant then why was Nintendo's first console not a "1st generation" machine? The reason is because generations are defined in relation to competing devices.

You're saying that a Switch 2 and a PS5/XBO2 launching on the same day wouldn't be the same generation? Crazy man, crazy.

They had consoles before the NES they were was Atari machines in gen 1 and 2, NES was their 3rd gen machine :/

Fine then let's take Sony, why is PS1 a 5th generation console, or XBOX a 6th generation console?

Generations in terms of 1st-8th are an industry-wide category not individual to each company.
