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.

I guess, but there is the thing about Xbox Scorpio being 9th gen and if it is I'm guessing that will be the major thing kickstarting the 9th generation causing Sony to release the PS5 in order to compete. (If Scorpio succeeds enough that is for Sony to do so)
