A 2019 system would be a late 9th gen but in the very unlikely scenario it takes untill 2020 for the next home console to release, it will be 10th gen while the switch remains as the only 9th gen ever.

That is how generations work.

So you're saying if the ps5/xbo2 release in 2020 they'll be a 10th generation? And the Switch will be the only system in the 9th generation?

A generation in the terms of 1st-8th is always a group, one cannot be solitary otherwise it loses all meaning. Your views on generations is misguided.

Generations are about timing and only required one individual. Again, would you consider the x360 6th gen if it took many years for another console to release?
