Nintendo is committing a lot of the same lethal mistakes they did with the WiiU, and more.

Utter nonsense. The generational categorization is moot when there is no fictional PS5, with "mid-gen" upgrades being released. The Switch is competing with the PS4 or whatever else is on the market right now. It's that simple.

A next generation starts when a company releases it's next console.  Ninteno is the first to do so, therefore it's the start of the 9th gen.  

To all who believe generations are "stupid" - these terms don't have to make sense to you.  They are in place to identify time periods of consoles apart when discussing video games.

A gen doesn't make sense when A: A new iteration has been released in the middle of the lifecycles of its competitors and B: The competition has already released more powerful hardware of the same console in the current gen. It really doesn't make sense to use it anymore when the reason to categorize is no longer relevant. The time that a company released a single console and stuck to that hardware for 5-7 years is over. That is my opinion on it anyway.
