| Green098 said: Well in factual terms, console generations are not opinions you can pick and choose where they stand. The Switch is a successor to the Wii U and 3DS which were 8th gen Home and Handheld consoles so therefore in a factual context the Switch is 9th gen. |
The Atari 5200 was the successor to the 2600, but they're both considered second generation consoles. If the Switch ends up primarily competing against eighth gen consoles, I guess there's an argument to be made that it's also eighth gen.
