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.

And they were also accepted as new generation  gaming consoles the moment they released.

Why people don't accept Switch as a new generation console? I already addressed the power, its  current competitors and portability as pointless arguments for this discussion.
