Nintendo has typically put out at least a home console and sometimes a portable console for each generation from the third generation onwards. The general timeline for Nintendo consoles looks something like this:
Generation 1 (1972-77): None
Generation 2 (1978-83): Game & Watch series, various arcade games
Generation 3 (1983-87): Nintendo Entertainment System (1985)
Generation 4 (1987-95): Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1991), Game Boy (1989)
Generation 5 (1993-2001): Nintendo 64 (1996), Game Boy Color (1998)
Generation 6 (1998-2006): Gamecube (2001), Game Boy Advance (2001), Nintendo DS (2004)
Generation 7 (2006-Present): Wii (2006), Nintendo DSi (2009), Nintendo 3DS (2011)
Generation 8 ("Next-gen"): Wii U (2012)
There are currently no 8th generation consoles available or in development. The current console generation is the seventh generation, and it includes the Nintendo Wii, the PlayStation 3, and the Xbox 360. Due to an increased emphasis on peripheral development in this generation (such as Kinect and the PlayStation Move), eighth generation consoles are unlikely to appear for several more years.
Yes, they are of the same generation of consoles, and both were termed "32-bit" consoles. They had many games released on both consoles.
the plural of Nintendo is Nintendos. As in "I have two Nintendos".
The Nintendo Wii is the best selling games console of its generation - otherwise known as the 7th generation. The other consoles for comparison are the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3.

Broken hardware isn't worth much due to the repair cost - if the hardware is even repairable in the first place. No one is going to give you working game consoles for broken hardware.

No, only on the previous generation consoles (PlayStation 2, Gamecube, XBOX).
No. The launch consoles do, via hardware. The second generation did via software. The current generation have no backwards compatibility, but they are significantly cheaper.
