Is there a definitive authority on the generation numbers? I’d have classified the N64 as third generation.
Usually 1st gen is stuff like pong (largely single-purpose systems, not general purpose), 2nd gen is pre-crash stuff like Atari and colecovision, 3rd is nes/sms, 4th is snes/genesis/tg16, 5th is ps1/n64/saturn, 6th is ps2/xbox/dreamcast, 7th is ps3/360/wii, 8th is ps4/xbone/wiiu, 9th is current gen ps5/xsx/switch. Obviously stuff like arcade, pc/microcomputer stuff, and handhelds blur the lines so it’s not perfect but I believe Wikipedia follows this classification.
Maybe OP is talking video-game-technology generations, rather than company-specific?
Even that doesn’t make sense, would Atari be Gen 1, then Coleco Vision Gen 2?
There’s no universe where PS1 and N64 are fifth generation. It’s a weird title.

It seems our current universe disagrees with you
Gotta love the old school desk
it was a glorious time
According to Wikipedia they are 5th Gen, along with 3DO and Jaguar.
I thought Segas 5th generation console was the dreamcast, it was just a bit slower to release than the others 😂
There are some real gems on the Sega Saturn. Last game I played on it before i unfortunately had to sell mine was Albert Odyssey which was a pretty decent jrpg with beautiful 2d art. Some great arcade style games were on it too.
One game stuck forever on the console is Panzer Dragoon Saga. It’s freaking incredible considering it’s age.
I need to try Panzer Dragoon Saga. I always imagined it as an on-rails shooter-type game. Never realized it was an RPG.
It’s also not extremely long either, about 20 hrs and you’re good!
