An interesting point to consider.

Let's assume they released a console that was on par with the ps4 and xbox one in 2016, the specification and shelf life would strongly suggest it was a 8th gen machine, but the numerical progression would insist that it was actually 9th generation owing to the fact that calling it 8th gen would demote the wiiu to 7th gen and the wii to 6th gen.

More interesting is, if you did demote the generations like that, the PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 would all be market leaders for their given generations.

Maybe we should call it Gen 8.1

If Fusion is right, I think Wii U was the last console and Nintendo will start a new kind of cycle.
