Generation 8 Prediction Time Worldwide

This thread is fascinating, if for no other reason than it predicts that Nintendo will release a successor at roughly the right time, but can't seem to figure out that the successor is generation 9.  

Also it's fascinating that most people seemed to think that generation 8 would turn out a lot like generation 7.  That is why most people overestimate the XB1 and underestimate the PS4.  In truth, each generation is a huge reset in the marketplace.  When people realize a) Switch is generation 9, and b) each generation is a huge reset, then they'll begin to see why the PS5 is actually in big trouble.

I like this guy.  He made a really good prediction.  Congrats to Somini!

Just one question.

What, in your opinion makes the NS a generation 9 console? 

Period of release? Game library of the platform? Or simply that it released after the PS4/XB1?
