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. |
Good point although it can be seen as a 5th gen platform seeing as it's not succeeding any previous platform and was released to compete with 5th gen consoles in the long run of it's life same with Xbox, once a staple in the market their successors are seen as succeeding platforms from that gen making the successor Gen 6 or 7 in the Xbox's case. To give you an example on how the is no defined gen setting EA count the NES as Gen 1 and they're a big industry publisher.
