Generations are more than just the predecessor/successor relationships of flagship consoles but are linked to a market timeline that competes for the same market share and revenue. This has been the accepted definition since the beginning. It's why we have had several instances of multiple consoles by the same company being considered part of the same generation since the very first generation.

Exactly, why can't we accept that two devices from the same company can't fit on one generation?

Wii U and NSW are on the same generation as PS4 and XB1.

I agree that multiple devices of one manufacturer can be in the same gen. For reference, look at Atari in the second gen. And I do not even touch the mess, that was the first gen.

I might add though, that I don't rule out, that the Switch will become also a 9th gen device. We don't know yet, 9th gen isn't here yet. But it might be possible Switch is still competing with PS5 and Scarlett, which would make it also a 9th gen device. And that I would also declare: I see it as possible, that one device stretches about more than one gen.
