It wouldn't be too far off - for example the PS2 can play PS1 games, and PS3 could play PS2 games (for a short while). But the first iPhone came out after the PS3 was released, and there have been no new standalone console generations since. (There were several Nintendos however, so those comparisons hold.)

Comparing portables to standalone consoles is problematic anyway, for various reasons. Not least, more than one person can play on a standalone at once...
