I feel like people are cherry picking by saying 3DS to Switch lol. Switch is considered the next gen to WiiU, not 3DS, though since it is hybrid and technically its just a handheld with a dock link up to TV you could say its the next gen for both WiiU and 3DS. But Nintendo already had a much much more powerful system out when the 3DS was out - the WiiU - so I wouldn't say 3DS to Switch counts. Furthermore, Breath of the Wild was a cross gen game shared between WiiU and Switch, not 3DS and Switch. Also a bunch of WiiU games have been ported to the Switch, aka last gen games ported to current gen, the same is not true for porting 3DS games to Switch. Finally the point is further made by the fact that Switch costs in the $200+ range like Nintendo consoles normally are, and not the <$200 range like Nintendo handhelds normally are.
Most people view the Switch as Nintendo ending its handheld-only line of systems (GB, GBA, DS, 3DS) and moved its console line to be a hybrid so that Nintendo didn't need the handheld line anymore. 3DS to Switch is not one of the generational leaps.
