Around the 5th gen is probably when we saw the market grow significantly, maybe people around the world started using the same platforms, etc.

Either way, Switch is technically 9th gen. At this point, a console only selling 20-30 million in its life would be considered a failure among the big three. I mean 30 million might have arguably seemed great for Wii U and Vita considering how they ended up, but they both aimed for better than that I imagine.

Current (8th gen).  Unless you think you can convince the entire industry they are wrong and you are right.

I know I’d certainly agree with that suggestion =)

But I feel similarly about the Wii U. They weren’t major Nintendo consoles, more like stopgaps.

Stopgaps?  Between what and what?

Yeah Switch is 8th gen, don't know what that guy is talking about.

Also don't get that guy's stopgaps comment. Wii U wasn't a stopgap, it was just halfway between two successful ideas, and it turned out half way between two things is a bad thing. And Gamecube was a great console, not sure why anyone would ever think there was something wrong with it. Just because it didn't sell much doesn't mean it wasn't awesome.
