8th generation started with the 3DS in 2011.

9th generation started with the Switch in 2017

We are just in a transition period right now like in 2011. In the next 2 to 3 years we will see the other two companies start releasing their next generation hardware.

I dislike calling the Switch 9th gen because it feels like nitnendo is a intire gen or two, behinde in terms of performance/capabilities of their hardware.

Want to know what a Switch 3 looks like 9-10 years from now, in terms of capabilities? buy a PS4pro today and find out.

I rather think of it as a weak console thats 8th gen, that also funktions as a handheld.

Saying Switch = 9th gen and so is Playstation 5, Xbox Two (dispite them useing much more advanced technology, and haveing much more power), feels weird.

Except for historical comparisons what the hell relevance does this gen crap have? In 2030 when people look back to compare 'gen 9', maybe we will compare sales of Switch/PS5/XBTWO. In the present day however, the fact of the matter is that Switch is competing with the PS4 and the XBONE.

Generations are split by people to categorize them to make things easier

I don't know whether or not the Switch is Gen 8, 8.5 or 9 but I don't think it matters too much. That said, Generations will continue to be used and I'm fine with that. When the PS5 launches, that would be the start of Gen 9 so if Nintendo releases a new console by then, the Switch would probably be considered Gen 8
