Video game hardware generations

The following is a list slightly altered from Wikipedia showing each console and the generation it belongs in. The alterations:

• Handhelds are listed in Handheld console generations as they their generation lifespan (up to now) seems to extend far beyond the life of a typical console generation.

• Add-on devices like the Sega 32x and Sega CD were also removed, as they were peripherals that extended the life of the system, not a total hardware change.

• Virtual Boy is not a home console.

• While most consoles are released relatively closed to each other in terms of timeframe, systems that straddle between two generations, such as Atari Jaguar will be sorted based on how and when the system was marketed and targeted towards.

• Finally, home computers, despite having a huge market on the industry, are not counted as consoles, so things like the MSX and C64 will not be seen in the list.
