Regardless, PS3/Xbox360/Wii where consoles of same gene and they were on market basically in same time.

Even if compare Switch power to Scorpio that is rumored that will be 6TF console, again Wii was less powerful compared to PS3/Xbox 360, than Switch will be compared to Scorpio,but that really doesn't matter because XB1/PS4 consoles will be still on market and actual will be more popular versions of consoles.

True, just a problem with Wii U is that's was stronger/on pair with previous gen not with curent gen.

Point is that for first time from GC, gap power between Nintendo console and main competitors on market will be smallest.

Well PS2 was still the most popular console on the market when Wii launched though, and Wii was stronger than PS2.

Likewise, Wii U had a year before PS4 and Xbone launched in which it was stronger than its competitors, PS3 and 360.

So if we go by "most popular console on the market" than both Wii and Wii U were more powerful than their most popular competitor(s) at their time of release, while Switch will not be.

On the other hand, if we go by hardware releases, Switch is coming out in the same product cycle as Scorpio and PS4 Pro, not Xbone and PS4, so it looks to have about the same power gap as Wii U had versus PS4/Xbone.

PS2/GC were last gen consoles when PS3/Xbox360/Wii arrived.

Wii U is same generation like PS4/XB1, not in same generation like PS3/Xbox360.

You missing point, point is that PS4/XB1 are still this gen consoles same like improved versions of them, Pro/Scorpio.

Switch coming at half of XB1/PS4 cycle and with Pro/Scorpio, but again Pro/Scorpio are not next gen consoles. Yes, we could say that Switch compared to Pro/Scorpio will be something similar like Wii U to XB1/PS4, but huge difference is that XB1/PS4 will remain strongest current gen consoles on market with full suport in future also, and that actually this time Nintendo console have very modern hardware and tech compared to Wii U.
