Generations are dead. The term "next-generation" is just marketing at this point.
NS is Nintendo's latest gaming console, but the distinction of "generations" is lost to how hardware revisions are changing. All you have to do is look at how mobile is handled to see how gaming consoles are shifting. PS4Pro/Scorpio is further illustration of this concept. Nintendo following suit by moving to ARM is further demonstration.
Nintendo will follow NS (if successful) with hardware revisions every few years just like MSony are doing now.
I don't mind that either. You can still skip revisions and buy every other to get that feels of significant change or buy each revision as some buy new phones every year.
