When the PS5 and Xbox Series X | Will they be considered “current generation” consoles?

by

A lot of information about Resident Evil Village fell during a recent live broadcast – a May release date, the reveal of a PS5 demo and more details about the very tall and hot vampire. But besides that, one thing about the live broadcast that really caught my attention was the description of the versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X | S of the game as “next generation” and the versions for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as “current generation.”

It made me wonder when we should stop referring to PS5 and Xbox Series X | S as “next generation”. Both consoles were launched more than two months ago. They are no longer something that is on the way, they are really here in some people’s homes. But people – even me sometimes – apparently still think that the console generation hasn’t changed yet.

To be honest, I’m not sure when I’m going to start referring naturally to the Xbox Series X | S and PlayStation 5 as the “current generation”, despite the fact that I have a Series X and a PS5 and have been using them since November. At the very least, I started referring to them as “new generation” instead of “next generation” whenever I had to write about them, but my brain didn’t make the subconscious shift to refer to Xbox One and PS4 as the old hardware. I still need to stop and remember that.

Likewise, the new consoles will be considered “current generation”, since they are readily available for purchase and you can simply walk into a store and pick one up instead of having to apologize in the middle of the workday to hover over the phone in the bathroom and click update on a link in the hope that a console will fall into the cart before a bot catches it? Or the PS5 and Xbox Series X | Are they just “current generation”, since the PS4 and Xbox One become obsolete hardware and new games are no longer being made regularly for these two systems? Is this new generation just the “current generation”, since Microsoft and Sony stop producing Xbox One and PS4 units, removing the option of even being able to buy them? Or is society using some other baseline to measure the transition? Because whatever the deciding factor, you didn’t tell me and I would like to know.

I recognize that it doesn’t really matter, but I still think it’s weird. I don’t remember how long it took after their respective releases for people to start referring to PS4 and Xbox One as “current” and PS3 and Xbox 360 as “last generation”. So why didn’t the same happen with the Xbox Series X | S and the PS5 yet?

Anyway, how do you refer to PS5 and Xbox Series X | S? Do you think they are current generation, next generation or new generation, or do you think we need a new label for this specific console generation? And what marks the transition in the console generations for you?
