How is switch gen 9 though it's not even much above ps3 if any things it's just a very late gen 7.5 console

Scorpio and the Nintendo 2DS XL are releasing after Switch and are still considered Gen 8.
So time frames aren't something that's factored in when deciding console generations.

Power obviously isn't either as Wii U is considered Generation 8, yet could easily be lumped in with the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 in terms of power.

I think generations has to do with the technology inside.

"our box can do this new methode of rendering, such and such, this and that, which is new compaired to last gen"

Also generations are about which products your up against.

Switch isnt 9th generation, if it spends most of its lifetime competeing against the PS4/XB1 that are considered 8th gen.

Switch belongs to the same generation it spends most of time with.

 

Also apart from being portable, I dont think the Switch, in terms of graphics is able to do 1 thing that the PS4/XB1 cant.

Nothing that makes you go "okay this is next gen stuff".
