What even is a "generation".
It's Nintendo's next generation console. Not sure where "ninth-gen" comes into it. Industry-wide generations is outdated and meaningless. Switch doesn't fit into that rigid mould. In fact when has Nintendo ever called one of their products either "ninth" or "eighth" generation machine?
It's a terminology I really hope dies out soon among gamers. Doesn't apply in the modern world.
If a manufacturuer decided to release a new console every 2 years would we have to have a million arguments over when the "next-generation" starts.
Without all the main platforms releasing in a semi-synchronous fashion, industry-wide generations is a null and void concept.
