If you really want to force it into a generation, it's a 9th generation console until proven otherwise due to being the successor to Nintendo's 8th generation console (Wii U), which in turn was the successor to Nintendo's 7th generation console (Wii). But aligning Switch with the next generation of Playstation and possibly Xbox seems kind of stupid right now because they're still so far away, so I'd say the concept of console generations is yet again blurred here. It looks like we're moving towards console generations internal to each console company (i.e. Sony has its own generations, and so does Nintendo) and possibly no generations at all (which seems to be the case with Microsoft).
