Its their fifth gen handheld. Its not a home console.

Well, technically it is a 9th gen console, and I don't think there can be much debate about that. It's obviously not the same generation as Wii U but the next one instead.

That said, the concept of universal console generations is becoming quite useless. Right now that's mainly because of Nintendo releasing new consoles earlier than competition, but it seems Microsoft is also keen on abolishing the concept of console generations, and Scorpio seems to be their first step on that path. That leaves only Sony following traditional generations, and if it's just Sony, it doesn't even make any sense to talk about universal console generations. Basically the situation is alreay a mess and doesn't look like it's getting any easier to understand.

Uh, someone remind me why we're talking about this for the 1000th time or so?

Nintendo shouldn't care for that. Calling it as a new gen system is enough.

they probl should call it PS3 portable with nintendo games instead of Sony exclusives and less third party support.

Would be a 100% fit.

They want to sell, not fail, so no relation with that brand is a good way to start.

Yet Nintendo keep insisting that this is their next home console and market it primary as a home console 

Its going to compete with PS4 and XB1 soooooo it doesn't really matter to me on what words they wanna choose. But I sure for one can't wait for this home console to create more mayhem on the Sony vs Microsoft going on.

It's their first hybrid console.

Gen 1, I like that.

I actually hope it goes well for nintendo and the switch, and that the follow up, is the same.

A arm+nvidia mobile chip (pascal or newer), that they then call Switch 2, and its 100% BC with the Switch.

They're still in the 6th.
