I don't see how it won't. It may not be when all the console makers put out new hardware, but it is effectively what Nintendo plans to release and support for the next 5 years (basically until 2022), so this will be the console that will be going against PS5, Xbox whatever.

It'll be competing with the PS4, if it fails to do great numbers like the Wii U, we are likely to nee another system around 2021 from Nintendo, which should be closer to the PS5 than the NX, which means it'll (NX) compete with the PS4, not the PS5.
Generation leaps are usually quite hard to grasp until much later on the gen, but if Nintendo is releasing a system that should be sharing games with the PS4 and shouldn't be sharing with the PS5, it's hardly acceptable to call it 9th gen, IMO.
Ever since the lack of upgrade with the Wii, which was still GameCube like, Nintendo was kinda weird on the generation rating, to me the Wii U was closer to the PS3 than to the PS4, as it hardly got anything the PS4 got, but the timing was much, much closer to the PS4, so it's considered 8th gen, but this time this shouldn't be the case, it's coming in the middle of the gen, and being likely comparable to the PS4 rather than to the PS5, so this'll be the time Nintendo sets the second system on the same gen until it's fixed with the next, if there is one.
I can't really see how the NX will be a 9th gen system, if anything, the Scorpio could be.
