If the Switch is considered a new gen simply because it's the successor to the Wii U, then the Wii U was a new gen because it succeeded the Wii, which succeeded the Gamecube, etc... All the way to Nintendo's first console. Making the Switch a gen 8 console. ^_-

Color TV-> NES---> SNES---->N64----->Gamecube------>Wii------->Wii U-------->Switch. 

This explains it. NES was third gen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_game_console
