No problem on you butting in. But Nintendo being "creative" and not adhering to technological advancement and if they decide to release a console every 2 years won't make gen count move with them.

What they are releasing is totally possible of being done on gen 8 so they making this system haven't unleashed a new gen.

Nintendo has a vision for the Switch/9th gen and are prioritizing the means of playing games on the Switch. Their decision for only slightly more power in the Switch than the WiiU is an executive decision that in no way holds them back in the cycle of consoles. You are telling me that Nintendo being creative and not adhering to technological advancement doesn't move them into the next gen but you aren't telling me why other than Nintendo isn't as technologically advanced. You are using a circular arguement for your case.

What the Wii did was also possible on even the PS2 and some of the Wii games looked worse than some PS2 games, yet Wii is still considered part of the 7th generation of home consoles; Not because of the power but because it was simply Nintendo's next console. The technological leap from GC to Wii didn't keep the Wii back a generation, why the sudden change? 

If Switch isn't 9th gen then Wii wasn't 7th gen and WiiU wasn't 8th gen since their software could be ran on previous generations hardware.

Edit - Oh and "2 years"? Come on...
