Someone get Captain fucking Obvious over here a medal. I think we can even promote you to Major Obvious, congrats.

The proper term is current gen once it has actually been released. PS3? Xbox360? Wii?WiiU All last gen. Current gen is Xbone and PS4. Next gen is PS5 and whatever dumbass console name Microsoft comes up with next.
Though to be fair some people do get 'next gen' stuff while it's still actually 'next gen'. Testers, reviewers and developers, etc. But no otherwise you're spot on.

I'm usually flexible with those terms. The PS3 and the 360 are both technically last gen, but they're "currently" available and still get games, loads of'em so... they're "current gen" as well, I suppose? It really doesn't matter how you call the "gen" when everyone in the conversation knows exactly what you're talking about. Even the numbers of generations are completely arbitrary since often times there were long gaps between console releases - sometimes it's hard to draw a clear line.

Being available doesn't change the fact they're last gen. Current gen is referring to the most recent generation of game consoles currently available. That being the Xbone and PS4 (and WiiU I guess if we wanna be politically correct here).
Sure the 360 and PS3 (does the 360 even get games still?) still might get a game here or there, but they're still very clearly last gen consoles because their successors are now on the market to replace them.

I don't think the word "current" is ambiguous, "current" is what's happening "now", meaning PS3, 360, PS4, One and Wii U. I totally get your approach too though, however perhaps "latest gen" is a more appropriate term for the PS4/One/Wii U, which only illustrates how arbitrary it all is.

EDIT: Thanks autocorrect.

Current gen is a reference to the current generation of consoles. Merely by association are games considered 'current gen', because they are for the most current consoles.
The games are basically irrelevant otherwise it does make things a bit messy, but not really.
Latest is probably a better term, however that's not the one that exists in gaming jargon.

Fair enough, I suppose. My point was that getting your panties in a bunch over which "gen" someone's talking about is a bit pointless and unproductive when the actual subject matter (the consoles) is well understood by all parties participating in the discussion. If we're being strict though, current gen is indeed the latest gen there is, next gen is whatever will come after it and last gen is whatever came directly before it - sure.

Hot chocolate and games on the same shelf? Do you keep your socks in the fridge? Your TV under the bed?

You clearly haven't seen my (quite literal) mountain of games.

There are manga too, the ones at the bottom are Haruhi Suzumiya no Yuuutsu tomes 1 to 12, the ones below Tales of Xillia 2 are Chobits tome 1 and 2.

I have a proper shelf but is too old(is for CDs) and small, but works anyway.

I should reorganize it and throw away unneeded discs, but I'm too lazy.

here is a detail of the games in the shelf:

I have my Wii U and PS4 in the living room now, here is a general view:

42'' LED TV 1080p, the only bad thing is that doesn't have audio-out and the home theater in the picture has only analog input, so I have the Wii U connected directly to it and for the PS4 I have to leave a second controller next to it and use the headphone out. also is missing the rear speakers but sounds excellent regardless.
If you are wondering the PS4 is right below the PS2, didn't noticed was out of frame, oops...

Here a detail of the games behind the Wii U gamepad:

I also have that 14'' CRT TV exclusively to play that Retroduo.

I have a few more PS4 bits and pieces bought digitally.

I'm sorry but the little devil in me has the strongest urge to just poke that tower and have it all timber.

The first thing that came to mind when viewing all that was "hot mess." Emphasis on "hot" and "mess."
