Both Wii U and Switch were outdated when they released. The fact that Switch 2 can be considered on point or better is why it's been such a nice surprise.

I mean, the Tegra X1 was a 2015 chipset, and a console using tech from a year or two prior is pretty normal.

The Gamecube's chipset was finalized in 1999 for a 2001 release, the N64 in 1995 for a 1996 release. 

About the last time any console was cutting edge was the Xbox 360 nearly 20 years ago. 

I'd say the Dreamcast GPU was ahead of its time in 1998. Short window, but games putting 3 million polygons in a time when PC games would be topping out at 1 million. The PowerVR2 was better than the Voodoo2 card, which almost made it in the system. Tho 90s tech was advancing so fast by  1999, DC fell behind when Rivia TNT 2 came out.
