Wii U launched in 2012, Switch (despite the somewhat small power improvement) launches in 2017, that to me looks like the usual gap between two generations, at least for Nintendo's standards...

And here we have the core of the "problem". If Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo want to have their own intervals until they start their next hardware generation, sticking to compliant time frames is impossible in the long run.  

Microsoft is at its 3rd home console gen, Sony is at its 4th home console gen and Nintendo now starts its 7th home console gen... why the urge to put a common label on it, no matter if it fits or not?
