The PC most certainly does have generations... And is also in lockstep with technological progress.

For example the PC's equivalent "7th gen" hardware was basically any Shader Model 2.0-3.0 rig DX9 rig... And SM4.0 hardware basically took those same games but with a plethora of further enhancements.

The Wii U certainly did compete with the Xbox One and Playstation 4, but it's hardware feature set was certainly 7th gen.
We can have older/technically inferior consoles compete with newer ones... It happened all the time.

The Super Nintendo existed from 1992 until 1998 here and the Playstation 1 burst onto the scene in 1994. - Yet, despite the PS1 sharing a big chunk of it's competitive life with the SNES, it was considered a generation newer, likely due to it's hardware feature set.

I would still consider it 8th gen due to it's technical underpinnings being based in 2015.

It would basically be a PSTV/Vita TV.

What gen did PSVita belong to?
