I have never seen that before. Like was said, the DS started the current generation.

Be honest, what were you typing? lol

I think a Sony sales representative made the thread statement. Could of been Scott Steinberg.

History of video game consoles (seventh generation)
"The beginning of the seventh generation for home consoles start with the release of Microsoft's Xbox 360 in 2005"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_video_game_consoles_%28seventh_generation%29

Sorry for the expression but this is a full bullshit, then the 5 generation started with the N64 and the 6 generation with the gamecube

Well, the generation itself started from 360 release, but the competition in the market started with PS3 release, and ended 2 weeks later when Wii got released.

7th gen of "home consoles" started with 360, sure, but the first sentence of that Wikipedia page is actually "In the history of computer and video games, the seventh generation began on November 21, 2004 with the North American release of the Nintendo DS, followed by the PlayStation Portable on December 12, 2004."

That doesn't really make any sense unless you want your fans to wait for your next console.

Sony are full of crap aren't they. 7th gen started with the Ps3. Worst gen of gaming ever then.LOL

Anyone remember their quote of 4D gaming.

I think you are taking the quote a bit too seriously. The exact quote was, I believe "The next generation doesn't start until we say it does", and was simply referring to the fact that they were the big kids on the block at the time.
