It's 100% a 9th gen console. Nintendo will be kickstarting the 9th gen, just like they did with 8th gen. Generations are not defined by power, they are defined by release. The cycle continues.

And the NX is being released at a point that will likely be equidistant between the release of the PS4/XBO & PS5/Xbox 4. It'll be debuting at or just before the PS4 & XBO hit their own peaks, and its library will likely be composed primarily of 8th-gen titles. Calling it a true 9th-gen system is a stretch.

Not really. Like I said. It's not  defined by power. Was the Wii a 6th gen console because it was weak? No, it was a 7th gen system. The Wii U kicked off 8th gen, and Nintendo will kick of 9th gen with the NX.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console This breaks down the console generation very accurately. I suggest you give this a read.

This is equivalent to calling the Dreamcast a 5th gen console, when Sega kicked off 6th gen. It launched 2 years before the PS2. I honestly don't understand this debate when the facts are in the numbers themselves. It's a simple as counting 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9    numbers don't lie, numbers never lie :3
