A lot of decisive subjects have flaws in them, but there eventually has to be a consensus. I know...it's wikipedia but https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles

PS4 Pro and Xbox One S aren't 9th gen, they're 8th. Very similar hardware, with minimal updgrades and the same prefix. If the Switch was Wii U: Switch, then no it wouldn't be 9th gen. What matters is that new schematics were built for the Switch, new hardware was manufactured, and it's not an addon.

Yeah, and the current consensus is that nobody agrees on it

Sorry to break it to you but your opinion isn't a fact, and you don't get to decide what the consensus is. There probably will be a proper consensus on what gen it is one day, but like I said I'm in the wait and see camp...

Oh and your logic right there has a major flaw in too. You say if it had Wii U as a prefix it would be same gen as the original Wii U. Well doesn't the Wii U have Wii as a prefix?

Bolded: And neither is...yours I'm not deciding anything, just stating what is the most adopted consensus. I'm just bringing up what the industry has stuck to for years. 

I was referring to the fact that Playstation 4 has PS4 Pro, and Xbox One has Xbox One S. Also, Wii and Wii U again, are different hardware entirely. If it isn't 9th gen...what do you think it is?

Yeah, the lines are becoming blurred, but when we start putting everything in its own corner, it gets even more confusing.
