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.

"Generations" has become a practically irrelevant term in this day and age, to be honest.

Switch, Scorpio, and Pro are all releasing within about a year of each other, whether we want to call it a new "generation" or not, they are the same product cycle. The standard PS4 and Xbone still being popular and supported in 2017 is just like PS3/360 still being popular and supported when Wii U came out, and PS2 still being popular and supported when Wii came out.
