Message: [QUOTE="TamagotchiTamaHero24, post: 276796, member: 215120"] Sounds like a simple question, but it’s really not. Console generations are a divisive concept anyway due to the variance of technology in many generations, especially the fourth and fifth, but handhelds make it a lot harder. However, a lot of handhelds are associated with accompanying home consoles. The GameBoy Color was marketed similarly to the N64, the PSP took much of its branding and style from the PS2 and eventually PS3, the Game Gear was built to complement the Genesis, etc. That said, things get messy because of how handhelds don’t follow console rules. The DS and PSP both released late in the sixth generation of systems but then were mostly alive during the seventh generation. The Atari Lynx feels like it should match with the Jaguar, but it actually predates it and doesn’t have much overlap, essentially being Atari’s sole system on the market during the early 90’s. The Neo Geo Pocket Color doesn’t match with any singular console. And the Vita pairs strongly with the PS3, but most of its life was spent next to the PS4. And then there’s the Switch. And that’s a whole can of worms on its lonesome. Released years before the ninth Gen, during the eighth generation that Nintendo already had a console in, and replacing their handheld business by combining handhelds and consoles into one. So, is it eighth? Ninth? Does it not count? What about the Lite, which is handheld only? All this begs the question… [ATTACH type="full"]94925[/ATTACH] Do these count during their respective console generations? [/QUOTE]
