Well, it will have been just over 6 years since they made a new portable platform since the 3DS and about 4.5 years since they released a new non-portable platform (Wii U).

The switch is more powerful than both of those 8th gen platforms and runs games designed very differently, so overall, I would at minimum call it Next Gen based on those observations.

And, most Consoles thus far have a new console releasing after 5 to 7 years on market, so this all seems quite business as usual.

What I am curious about is will vgchartz.com track the Switch on the front page, or will vgchartz wait till PS5 and Xbox4 come out?
