Until people pick whether it's a home console, or a handheld, it'll be "1st Generation", as in the first generation of cross-type platform.

If it's a handheld it's tied to handheld generations, if it's a console it's tied to console generations, if it's neither/both, then it is it's own thing entirely and should be treated as such.

Interesting concept, but there are no handheld generations or console generations.  There are currently just "Video Game Generations".  The 3DS and Vita are part of the 8th Generation of Video Games.  The DS and PSP were part of the 7th Generation of Video Games.  Etc... 

3DS and vita were released during the 7th generation (ps4, wiiu and xbox one were not out). so that would then make the switch (releasing along side wiiu, ps4 and xbox one) an 8th gen console.

ive always found combining console and handheld generations to be messy and pointless, since theyre seperate devices entirely
