The distinction is pedantic. There are 2 generations of consoles out. The newest generation is always referred to as next gen. Trying to make everyone else adhere to calling a PS5 current gen only confuses everyone and leads to a pointless over explanation. Calling a PS5 next gen leads to zero confusion and zero further explanation.
Yep...I had to look up "pedantic"...now I have learned something new. This is a great word. Thank you for the knowledge my man, I'm gonna drop this word on someone in the very near future.
Come to think of it.. This past year in Scomo's chat, I asked him a question about next gen madden abilities vs current gen madden abilities and he refused to answer and instead went on a rant about how he CAN'T STAND people like me that call the ps5 next gen when it's the current gen. Unsubbed and moved on.
IMO it's hard to call the PS5 a "current standard" when you can't walk into a store and actually buy it. Production / supply chain shortages have made it scarce asf to find unless you wanna pay double retail from a reseller.
It’s not next gen anymore. Xbox X & PS5 are the current standard. It’s prev gen & current gen.
I've been saying this since November... how long are we gonna call It next gen when it's been out over a year lmao
Im going to call it current gen when they stop making games for the last gen consoles. Idk anybody who is not calling the series x or p5 next gen…..

FIFA 19 came out on 360/p3 which was five years after One/p4. Based off of that we will still be calling p5/xbx next gen 3 years from now. That's ode
Yup the consoles are still too new to not call it next gen ….
