In a similar way, both the Atari 2600 and 5200 are considered 2nd gen consoles. This isn't an early next gen console. Nintendo basically cancelled the Wii U after launch and now they are releasing a new and reasonably late 8th gen device. |
Cancelled the wiiU after launch? The wiiU was a complete failure in every sense of the word. And will be on the market longer than even the ogXB was on the market. Yet I don't see anyone saying MS "cancelled" the ogXB. Nintendo released an 8th gen console. They are now releasing a mid gen console. that may or may not be described as 8th gen (for simplicity sake) but is in actuality 9th gen unless we want to say they made two completely different platforms in the 8th gen.
To cancel something immediately after launch would be like they release it in 2012 then in 2013 they say they are making a new console to come out in 2014. the NX comes out in 2017. that's a good 4-5yrs after the wiiU was released.
