Again this thread? It is 100% a 8th gen console.
NX will compeat against 8th gen consoles (PS4 / Xbox One) so there is no way that NX will be a 9th gen console.

That makes no sense. If that was the case, then wii would have been a 6th gen console because it competed with the PS2. *Rolls eyes

The console gens overlap with eachother and each gen's consoles compete with the consecutive gen's consoles. 

N64 is 5th gen
Gamcube is 6th gen
Wii is 7th gen
Wii U is 8th gen
Nintendo's next home console is 9th gen

It's not complicated. It has nothing to do with power or what the device competes with what. If nintendo replaces the wii u with it's successor, that's the next generation of nintendo consoles. 

Not true. 
Wii competed with the PS3 and X360 much longer than it did with PS2. So it is a 7th gen console.
