I don't think power has much of anything to do with it though. If it did why was the Wii 7th gen when it wasn't that much more powerful than the Gamecube. I don't think console generations are opinions we can class ourselves. It's the successor to an 8th gen home and handheld console so technically in factual terms it is a 9th generation piece of hardware.
