What half gens?
You guys got 6 years last time for the Wii. Every other Nintendo console has gotten 5 years. This one is 4.
A half generation is 2.5 years of support.
If anything this just evens out the Wii being a year longer than it should have been.
And long generations aren't that great either, it means you are stuck playing games on outdated technology for longer. The industry isn't a bunch of 10-year-old boys any longer that needs mommy/daddy to buy them every new console, a lot of people would be willing to embrace a different model IMO.
Nintendo game experiences have always gotten better with better hardware unless you're going to sit there with a straight face and say Splatoon and Bayonetta 2 and so on would have been better on the original Wii. So why be afraid of something that's ultimately good for the player?

This generation looks like it will be a long one, so 4 years is pretty much half a generation.

This generation looks like it will be the opposite of a long one. For starters, neither of the three consoles had amazing hardware when compared to what's best in 2012/2013.

Games on all platforms are limited in scope due to hardware limitations.

let me rephrase. Games on the wii u are limited to the weakest hardware for current gen home console gaming. It wouldn't be a problem if the performance of the hardware was close to that of the competition, but let's be real, the ps4/xbox1 run laps around the wii u

You're not making any sense on that. No one will look at wii u games and think they were limited by hardware.
