Moved some text parts that had absolutely nothing to do with the consoles but belong to the next generation article.

I added only a small piece of information about the abbreviation of the titled page, and what releases are considered to fit into this catagory.

-The Term '''Next Generation Console''' was first used for the [[PlayStation 2]]. Reason for that being that it was the next generation after the [[PlayStation]]. This term is now being used for the next next gernation (e.g. [[XBox 360]], [[PlayStation 3]]...) as well, even though they are not from the same generation.

+With time the term "Next Generation Console" has been applied to all the rumoured or planned incarnations of then current consoles; e.g. when the PS2 was current, the PS3 was referred to as "next gen", but when the PS3 was current, the PS4 was "next gen", and so on. So, at different times in the past the term "next generation" referred to different sets of [[Video Game Console]]s.
