Yeah, but they never actually used that term "next-gen" before until referencing the Xbox 360, PS3, and the Wii to an extent. Of course I could be wrong, but I don't think the previous gen consoles were every referred to as "next-gen".



It was the title for a popular gaming magazine in 1995.
It was used to describe the first PlayStation, the Sega Saturn, and the Nintendo 64 (the "fifth generation" depending on who you talk to).

So this isn't new (at least, not in the US).
