Absolutely correct.  And having 2 consoles in the same generation is not unprecedented.  Magnavox had 2 consoles in the first generation, Atari had 2 in the second generation, Sega and Atari both had 2 in the 3rd generation and SNK had 2 in the fourth generation.  It's less common now but it's certainly not something unique to Nintendo this generation.

Too many people think power determines their inclusion into a generation but nobody in the industry itself has ever used that criterion.

I dont see a normal xbox one and a one x as the same console either

Well yeah, hardware revisions are another example of major new hardware releases - even ones that constitute a substantial upgrade - don'ttruigger a new gen.  The first gen of dedicated handhelds for example is more or less measured as the GB to the launch of the GBA.  The GBC was not considered a new gen.  Nor were the many competitors that launched during that span at different points.
