^ Thats what I was saying.

I dont consider the Wii U to be on the same gen as the PS4 or XB1.
To me Wii U was actually like 7.5 or something.

Nintendo is "out of sync" with the others, following a half step behinde (and at later dates).
Switch is gen 8.... but both PS4 + XB1, have 8.5 gens (PS4pro + XB1X)

for some reason people want to label it as being ahead, dispite their console,
not being able to play most multiplats because it doesnt have the tech for it.


It doesnt make sense if you view the switch as a homeconsole.

I just think that introducing half (.5) gens is making things needlessly complicated?

I've always considered gens to be based on time and not power. Wii was a lot weaker than PS3 and Xbox 360 but I certainly still considered Wii to be part of 7th gen.
