| Wyrdness said: No matter what anyone pushes here Switch is a Gen 9 platform simple as that as it's a successor to gen 8 platforms much in the same way the person who is elected after Trump will be the 46th President. |
So if Nintendo decided to release the successor to the Switch in 2021, Gen 10 would start? A "generation" refers to multiple systems over multiple companies so the, "It's a new console +1 gen" logic doesn't work if companies follow different release schedules. You'll get to a point where Nintendo release there "Gen 11" machine before Sony/MS have even released a "Gen 10" machine.
The US Presidency is singular, a console generation is a group, bad analogy.
There's nothing to stop a company releasing there next-gen console every 3 years, next release = +1 is a completley flawed defintion for an industry-wide generation.
The Switch is Nintendo's next generation console, that's it.
