The actually has, the predecessor to the Master System the SG-100 mk2 launched after the NES. Even Gen 1 and 2 is a mash up of such cases as well. |
Actually SG-1000 is classified as a 3rd-generation console same as NES, but you're right that there are 1st Generation devices that launched after the first 2nd Generation device did.
Still without a defintion other than "+1" these generations where consoles are grouped together are meaningless, we may as well just have "Sony's 4th generation Console", "Microsofts 3rd Generation Console".
If Sony started releasing successors every 7 years, and Nintendo every 4 years... well then we'd eventually be saying Sony's console released in 2041 belongs in the same group as Nintendo's console launched in 2029, which just doesn't make sense and at that point... why even group them together? Why are two consoles released by two different companies over a decade apart grouped together?
