You'll notice that Nintendo is prone to releasing multiple platforms in one generation when a platform falls flat on its face. Switch is their 8th Gen mulligan.

 

Case in point: Virtual Boy and Gameboy Color.

They waited five years for the Wii U and Switch though. It's not like the virtual boy where they ditched it almost immediately.

Right, except the majority of console manufacturers are still releasing the same consoles and "mid-gen refresh" consoles. People can claim Switch is 9th Gen, but we're still in the thick of 8th Gen.
