Then I name the PS4pro & XB1X as 9th gen too... and PS5/XB2 will be the 10th gen!
It doesnt make sense just cus you say something.

A gen can have more than 1 console in it, Nintendo Wii U time was just so short, they had 2 consoles in their 8th gen.

You just being silly now those aren't stand alone new platforms they're different models otherwise by your logic here PS2 Slim was new platform.

Imo thats no more silly than saying its 9th because... its new and last one was 8th, and ignoreing its competition.

Generations are definded by the group things belong to.
Not unto themselves.

this is the way we use generation for consoles:

"the entire body of individuals born and living at about the same time"

its a body of individuals born and liveing at about the same time.
3 individuals = ps4, xb1, switch.

They are selling now against one another thus belong to the same generation of consoles.
