To me Power & compeititon define what generation a console belongs too.
That makes the Switch a 8th gen.

Except the actual definition of Generation would make it a 9th gen console as power and competition have absolutely nothing to do with which gen its in. Generation is, and will always be a time based thing. The successor is always in the next generation regardless of specs. IF GCN was 6th, wii is 7th, wii u is 8th and switch is 9th.

Except the topic of the thread is what Nintendo will call it,
and as per the linked reference, they are using 7th gen re: their own 7th gen.
So as it happens, people can have their own definitions of the term which function based on what matters to them.
So as it happens, your absolutist self rightelous definition FAILED, you did not cohere to the stated term of the thread topic,
so go directly to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200.
