@anima I'd consider "gaming generations" to be more related to technology stages and mainstream design concepts than to actual generations as defined by sociology. The three generations I listed are defined by the games they played. The first one played in the 80s in arcades, the atari systems and early pcs like the Amiga; the second one played with consoles like the NES/Famicom, SNES and Sega genesis, N64 and PS1 as well as computers, defined by challenging and complex games meant for one player or split screen multiplayer; and the third generation played in computers and modern consoles, with a trend focused on online multiplayer and forgiving and fluid game designs.
