It matters to me, because I think it helps make predictions and accurate analysis. For example, I am predicting that PS5+Series X will sell significantly less than PS4+XB1. Why? Because I think a lot of those sales are going to the Switch instead. It's competing with those systems, because they are in the same generation. I am viewing generations as describing meaningful phenomena and not just an arbitrary way of categorizing things.
Now, if PS5+Series X sells about the same as PS4+XB1, then I will have to reevaluate my thinking. That is just basic scientific reasoning. But if my prediction is correct, then my view is the most logical explanation, that Switch is a Generation 9 system competing with the other Generation 9 systems. Again, that is just basic scientific reasoning.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
