Wii U = 176 Gflops

Well, when talking about gens, it is time that determines them, not power. If Nintendo continues with handhelds/hybrids, going by power alone, it will take them decades to reach Gen 9, which are probably going to be 10+ Tflops machines. It's just a silly way to look at the market. I think Nintendo will probably release a Switch Pro to lengthen the Switch's life, but even that would probably only hit ~1 Tflop.
And to be fair to the Switch, sure it's not that much more power than the Wii U, but like I said, it is also a handheld machine. It being twice as powerful is still pretty impressive. And consumers seem to think so, too.
