That's an incredible feat.
Not that it matters to the actual point of the Switch being such a popular system, but I'm firmly in the Switch isn't next generation camp. It launched OVER 3 years after the PS4 and Xbox One and was significantly weaker (if that is a deciding factor for you). And the PS5 and Xbox Series X will be launching OVER 3 years after the Switch.
I get that there isn't a nice, clean way to determine generations, but this feels like an (admittedly blurrier) version of the "when does a decade start?" sort of debate where one side wants to be very rigid and the other is looking at the bigger picture and what makes the most sense.
EDIT: I guess my point is we can't say Nintendo has to exist outside of generations so the Switch might as well be apart of this generation.
Still, props Nintendo.
