So lets take a look through History...

The NES is 3rd gen, sega master is 3rd gen. 

Sega's next console released only 3 years after the master and 2 years before the SNES. 

Basically sega released 2 consoles before nintendo released the NES's successor, YET it is still considered different generations. AND the genesis was discontinued at the same time as the NES even though it was in the same generation as the SNES. 

But because it was the successor to the master it's categorised as 4th gen. 

*Breathes out* 

Generation titles dont make any damn sense at all.

It used to be evident before, because every new gen, you could clearly see a drastic improvement from the last.

Its not like that anymore, we should stop useing "gens" monikers.

I'd say there is a big improvement from the Switch to Wii U. Way better build quality, docked mode is twice as powerful (and a bit more) as Wii U. Controls improved, adding mobile capabilities. How is that not a generational leap?

Also your argument has now changed from saying they're the same gen to now saying to drop the name once you've been proven wrong and history shows they're different gens. Which is fine, but acknowlegde that in gaming industry terms and categorisation the Switch is 9th generation.
