It's Gen 9.

Wii U was 2012
PS4 and X1 were 2013.

That is Gen 8.

Switch is 2017 which is 5 years after the Wii U and 4 years after the PS4/X1.

And if the PS5/X2 launches in 2020 then it'll be 3 years after the Switch, if either gets an early start in 2019 then it'd be 2 years after.

Nintendo just got out even earlier this time in the new generation since the Wii U was such an abysmal failure.

So it's gen 8...

Switch shares 3 years with ps4/xbone

... Switch successor will release in 2022

...3 years ps4, only 2 years ps5 -> 8. Gen
