Topic: Next Nintendo Direct?

@FishyS, for me, since new game consoles are constantly coming out from the big three in completely random years (although XBox and Playstation do seem to happen around the exact same time most of the time), I kind of just started making individual console generation lists for each company. I do know that other people do it differently, I just don't really pay much attention to that 😅.

@FishyS I'm not even sure we're at that point. I do know Nintendo's done a lot of dancing between the home console generations, especially lately. I consider it this:

Gen 1: Megavox Odyssey
Gen 2: Atari 2600, Intellivision, ColecoVision
Gen 3: NES/Famicom, Sega Master System, Atari 7800
Gen 4: SNES/Super-Famicom, Sega Genesis/Mega Drive
Gen 5: Nintendo 64, Saturn, PlayStation
Gen 6: GameCube, Genesis, PS2, Xbox
Gen 7: Wii, PS3, Xbox 360
Gen 8: Wii U, PS4, Xbox One, Switch
Gen 9: PS5, Xbox Series, Switch 2

Granted, this doesn't include handhelds. Additionally, specific generations are starting to become a less important factor.

@ElRoberico I think the main question is whether to count Wii U and Switch as seperate generations. But also... it's all made up so it really doesn't matter 😆
