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.

Well maybe they are becoming irrelevant, but for now PS4/Pro, XB1/Scorpio will all be part of same gen, Pro/Scorpio are not next gen consoles they are improved version of current consoles.

Totaly difrent things, when PS4/XB1 arived on market they were truly next gen consoles, PS3/Xbox360 in that time were around 7-8 years old, and around year after PS4/XB1 arrived on market PS3/Xbox360 start losing support and today usually don't have truly next gen ports for PS3/Xbox360, while Pro arived on market 3 years after PS4 and basicly its just a more expansive version of PS4 (basicly 4k PS4) console not brand new console or gen, Pro is not replacing base PS4 on market, they will coexist (you will have cheaper and more price PS4 console) and they will have full suport together at least until PS5 arives on market, not to mention that base PS4 will continue selling much better than Pro version of console (just look sales of base PS4 and Pro in Japan for instance, this week 110k base model vs 8k for Pro model), and instal base of base PS4 model will always be much larger than Pro instal base.
