Obviously the Wii U flopped, especially since the PS4 and XB1 did so well.

But Nintendo is the first to hop on the next gen, and let's just say the PS5 and XB(whatever name) don't even need to bother.

The Switch is current gen, probably even sub-current with their hardware specs.

Next gen? Switch is last gen lmao, can't even compete with current gen in specs, games or hype.

Getting free ported MMOs every month doesn't make the console a hit.

I just like the aspect of the switch. Some games just play better handheld mode.

Just because it doesn't look as glorious as the PC version doesn't mean it looks like shit. It looks damn good given the hardware limitations.

What "glorious PC version" ?! I was merely comparing it with the "not glorious" PS4 version, since the topic was about CONSOLE GENERATION, and it stilll looks like turd.
Hardware limitations, as you very well put it, cannot put you atop the console generation mountain just because Zelda and Mario.

the gameboy was disproving that beefy specs were meaningful 30 years ago, and if you weren't paying attention then, the Wii proved it again in the last decade

sony also took a turn at disproving it in the mid 90s to early 2000s

basically no generation of console has ever won because of its specs being the best

Why do hardware limitations matter if they're still putting out better games

graphics are extremely important unless I'm talking to a PC gamer in which case actually I(as a REAL(console) gamer)only care about gameplay, not shiny graphics

Graphics and hardware limitations matter... to a point.

If you're playing with SMB graphics in SNES times, or SNES graphics in N64 times it is a big deal.

But nowadays the law of diminishing returns applies. Are the PS3 wolfenstein graphics so bad, so offputting that you would not enjoy the game if you had played PS4 wolfenstein 2? Nope.

If you play Street Fighter 5 and then street fighter 4, would you feel like you were playing a NES game in the SNES era? No.

The Switch gets the job done.

Console gens are based on time of release and not power.

What do you mean by won? In most cases, "won" usually means which console sells better. For instance I think the Wii U had a spectacular library of games with high review scores, but most don't consider it a "win" because the Wii U sold like crap. Switch is selling well, but it's still behind the other 2 consoles.

Nintendo either can't or won't compete with the other two anymore. You buy their systems as secondary consoles for their awesome first party games, anything else is a bonus.

For the big third party games you need one of the other two systems as your main machine.

Or a PC, unless you're invested in the yearly Naughty Dog Uncharted clone.

it moved more units in its first year than any other console -- maybe ever? but certainly for the last few generations -- slightly edging out the Wii

granted first year sales don't necessarily translate to long term success but there's reason to be optimistic

Something is telling me that Zelda did help with that if the Wii and Switch were to show anything, but you're right in that it's indeed on terms with the Wii when it comes to moving units.
