Should NS and wiiU be both labeled as 8th generation?

a generation, is a "group" something one belongs to.
Would you group the NS with the PS4/XB1? since its selling alongsides them?
Or the PS5/XB2 (which arnt out for another 2 years?)

Face it, it belongs to the same generation of consoles as the PS4 & XB1 = 8th gen.

I group NS as a 9th gen because it succeeds an 8th gen platform as a new platform, nothing complicated about it.

Then I name the PS4pro & XB1X as 9th gen too... and PS5/XB2 will be the 10th gen!
It doesnt make sense just cus you say something.

A gen can have more than 1 console in it, Nintendo Wii U time was just so short, they had 2 consoles in their 8th gen.
