I think the best way to look at it is similar to the Dreamcast. The Dreamcast was without a doubt a 6th gen system spec wise, it was beyond the 5th gen. But there was a good sized gap between it and the other competitors. Case in point, Sonic Adventure 2 vs Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. Same game, but on GameCube you got enhanced graphics and performance. I would say in this comparison Switch is the Dreamcast and Xbone and PS4 are the GameCube and Xbox respectively. Perhaps a New 3DS-esque hardware revision down the line could move it to a position similar to where the PS2 was. But for now, it sits just on the edge.
The Wii U was more like the original Wii, being above the prior generation enough to be noticeable but way behind PS360.

Well, the difference though was that the Dreamcast preceded those consoles, while the Switch succeeds them.

Came out after you mean. And this is true, Dreamcast was first to market and Switch was last.
And yes, I consider Switch gen 8. Which has less to do with specs and number of predecessors and more to do with which systems would be considered its peers and contemporaries. Which are the PS4 and Xbone lines and I doubt that outlook will change.
But I was simply giving a point of comparison for the power gap.
