I base my logic on console generation using the history itself:
"Switch is 8 gen console because is competing with PS4 and X1".

X360 also did that with PS2 and also Dreamcast with N64 and PS1.

"Bu-but X360 and Dreamcast were more powerful than it's competitors!"

Arguing about power on a discussion about generations is beyond ridiculous, bc you are arguing against the whole definition of "generation".

Nintendo before always participate in a generation with a portable and a home console.

But now they started a new cycle with a whole new device. This pretty much confirmed the beginning of a new generation for me.

Dreamcast and 360 are commonly accepted to be 6th and 7th gen consoles respectively. We'll see about the Switch. Labeling it now does't make any sense.
