What Wii had in common with 7th gen? What about Wii U and 8th gen?
Answer: Marketshare and that's it.
Nintendo will never make triplets with Sony and MS. Using PS and XB architecture, library, technology, philosophy or whatever the twins share to compare with Nintendo consoles and determine wich gen they belong. That's totally pointless...
It's beyond me the mental gymnastics for a misstep in Nintendo trajectory that force them to release Switch maybe two years early that was planned.
Like for real, Dreamcast is labeled as 6th console because everybody knew that Sega's intentions was to keep that thing alongside the others till 2004 at the earliest, but it's financial situation force them to cut the plug. But now why people act so dense in regards to Switch releasing a few years early just to compensate Wii U fiasco? That's the million dollars question.
If Wii U was replaced by Switch in 2014, then it would be totally reasonable to say is a 8th gen console
