I can, when before has their been so much dispute over what generation a system is part of? The arguing over what generation the Switch and even the PS4 Pro and Scorpio are in shows that industry-wide console generations are now a flawed concept.

Why should Switch be an "eight generation" system or a "ninth generation" system. It doesn't fit into either category perfectly. So why bother trying to cram it into some arbitrary group at all?

Generations are no longer clear cut and there's really no need to have defined generations any more, not sure why people are so bothered and try so hard to group very different systems together.

You misunderstand. I agree, and have been saying so for years. I just can't believe we're out a point now where that's the leading consensus.
