I'm just posting an example of how ambiguous the generation classification can be. I didn't even brought up the also-rans that came out between fourth and fifth gen like the 3DO and Jaguar, which competed against the Super NES and Genesis when they launched, but didn't even last long enough to compete with the PlayStation and N64, as well as all the other weird consoles (CDi, PlayDia, Pippin, PC-FX, Amiga CD32, LaserActive) that came out during the mid 90s "multimedia" boom.

It'll be interesting how they'll classify Project Scorpio once it comes out. It's been advertised as an incremental upgrade to the Xbox One similarly to the PS4 Pro, even though the reported specs provide almost as a huge of a leap as the one between the original Xbox and Xbox 360, whereas the PS4 Pro is basically this generation's PC Engine SuperGrafx. And then there's the unknown variable that is still the NX.
