I agree, but then it would need to be grouped with XBOX and PS4 Pro as Gen 8.5 or "8th gen done right". And since we're not getting separated sales numbers of the upgraded consoles from Microsoft and Sony, it's only logical place is at 8th gen, at least right now

Their all selling now.... at the same time... they all belong to the same generation (this time periode).
Switch will spend most of its life, selling against the PS4/XB1.... its in the same gen of consoles as them.

Switch is a 9th gen system and that's a simple fact. A console's gen is determined by the timing of it's own release. Wii u opened the 8th gen, switch replaced it 4 years later = new gen.

And by your logic, what if the x360 released in 2005 and no other console released untill 2008+? would that magically make the 360 a 6th gen? Hell no, it was a 7th gen as soon as it released.
