The have also been several cases of more then one generation of consoles active at the same time as well, NES/Megadrive, SNES/Saturn/PS1, Dreamcast/PS1/N64.

NES and Mega Drive/Genesis/Mark III are the same generation.

SNES was replaced by the N64 as the flagship Nintendo console during the Saturn/PS1 era.   The continuation of selling after replacement is irrelevant. PS2 was discontinued in 2013 but is not considered part of the PS3/X360/Wii (Gen 7) era.

Dreamcast is certainly a borderline case as it spent an equal amount of market time competing with Gen 5 as Gen 6 but that's only because of Sega's abrupt exit from the market.  Otherwise, it would have spent the majority of its life during Gen 6.

To you maybe ironically you can't even use your "Industry argument" here.

SNES was replaced in 96 which means for two years it competed with the PS1 and Saturn meaning two gens were active at the same time which is something you can't argue here, the fact you don't know were to class DC highlights how wonky your logic is here.
