NS2 started Gen 10 with Steam machine prolly being the second to join. Xbox and Playstation might be 2027 if the chip and ram situation doesnt change too much.

What are you talking about, the ps5 kept more than half the userbase for two or three years into the PS5 cycle and that's with the PS5 out. Do you expect the userbase to just give up on gaming cause there is no new machine out? 

Ns2 launched in the 9th genn of consoles...

1 console doesnt mean the other 2 current consoles are all of a sudden last genn when  they be current genn for next 2 a 3 years.

I'm hoping Sony take their sweet time and release PS6 in 2028 or preferably 2029 due to high prices everywhere and most developers haven't tapped PS5 full capability and takes years to make games. Plus I've got a huge backlog of PS4,PS5, Switch and PC games!! 😫
Meanwhile micro$oft obsoletebox should no longer make next gen and just stick with being a 3rd party publisher

I don't see a reason to release a PS6 anytime soon. It's not like there are games that would need the extra power. And because of hardware prices, demand would be low. So I expect Sony to just wait it out and release a PS6 in 2030 or something.

I don't expect Microsoft to release another Xbox in a way we are used to. They will just tap the Xbox Logo on some PC builds from other manufacturers. There's no need to maintain two platforms anymore and they clearly gave up on the classic console race. Which is just a reason more for Sony to not rush anything.

I could be wrong though.

This is the best argument for NS being 8th gen I've ever seen. Well done sit. 👏 

I'd put money on 2028.... that is when production will once again equalize with demand for ram, getting prices of ssd/ram chips down.
Not because demand will be less than today, but because by then, production will have adjusted upwards abit more than currently.

That said, I still think a new PS6 or new Xbox will be expensive.

I view both as late to the party :p

They are both 9th gen. 
Nothing techwise, makes them a gen ahead of Series X or PS5/PS5pro.
The insides are 9th gen.... just launching late doesn't give you a gen ahead number.
(launching multiple consoles on short cycles doesn't put you ahead either)

This forum is very nintendo focused, so if you do a thread with a pole of what gen it belongs too, most will vote for the biggest number.
Out of love for nintendo, or thinking its ahead a gen is a good thing or such. 

If you look else where on the net, most people think it 9th gen.
Just like the switch was 8th gen (it was there with the PS4XB1). 

What is the point of something new, just to have something new?

If it doesn't make sense to do something, because of a situtation (ram/ssd prices), you push things back until it does.
People that need a gaming device, can still get one, either way.
There is no reason to think people stop buying devices because of their launch date.

It is always about value, and the games on the system.
As long as it hold value in the eye of the consumer (new fun looking experiances being out), it is going to continue to sell.

If all that mattered was having the newest fastest possible machine, or console.... Switch 1 & 2, would not have been good sellers.

Nintendo proves you can stay on the market, as long as you make fun games or having fun experiances come out, in a good flow.
You just need to market, the games and the system so consumers get bombarded with ADs about fun experiances they are missing out off, by not having your product. (ei. exclusives)

Nice catch, this year we will have a second contender in the mix. So in a year or 2 we could see another participant of 10th gen. Just like it happened with Dreamcast releasing in 1998 and PS2 releasing in 2000

Really? Maybe people wanna keep a fine order among the successions of the biggest console manufactures?

Why some people wanna make a mess on this, insisting in pulling non sensical parameters and rules from their assess, that were totally insignificant on previous generations (Wii 7th gen, Wii U 8th gen...hello?? U wanna sleep on that again???)?

Seeing how this site (and the whole internet) is filled with users that suffer from Nintendo Derangement Syndrome, I would guess that they wanna take every opportunity to put Nintendo on a bad light, thinking that putting Switch 1 and 2 one gen behind is some kind of memento, a punishment to Nintendo for not taking the P0wEr route (They couldnt make it work for Wii an WiiU bc they were way aligned with PS and Xbox in the timeline to make this shit fly)...

Who knows which side is holding the lamest agenda? Take your guess

Edit: Another funny piece. Switch for also being a successor of 3DS, but Switch Lite being a handheld de facto is somehow listed as an 8th gen handheld on Wikipedia, despite releasing in 2019 (7 years after PSvita* and the exact year it was discontinued) and having a huge tech jump compared to Vita*. 

Make it make sense, because I cant lol

*Yeah, I am using Vita as parameter bc I know how obtuse some people are to this concept and only assume PS systems release/lifespan as the beggining/ending of a generation
