I would say if it didn't hit it then it was/is extremely close since the Wii U was the console of the generation to be honest. I know that is not a popular opinion but the Wii U was the console for this gen and the Switch is the leader for next gen. At least that is how I look at it anyway. But either way sales are very good.

Gen 8 is =
Wii U -> Switch
Vs
PS4 + PS4pro
Vs
Xb1 + Xb1x

Switch "might" be nintendos 9th? console (im not even sure), but it belongs to the same generation of consoles as the PS4 + Xb1, as those are who its on the market with, and competeing against. A generation isnt just 1 console on its own, but the "market" of that time periode.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eighth_generation_of_video_game_consoles

it lists both Wii U & Switch as 8th gen.
The only way that makes sense imo.

Then I definitely looked at it wrong lol. I had the Switch as the start of Gen 9 lol.
