And the Virtual Boy? :P

So yeah, Switch is Gen 7 Nintendo. PS4 is Gen 4 Sony, and the X1 is Gen 3 Microsoft. Sounds good.

Virtual Boy is kinda difficult to decide which type it is. Some classify it as portable, but I'm not so sure, it has not the usual use-case of a portable device. I personally say Virtual Boy is gen 1 of virtual reality devices from Nintendo.

For me neither Virtua Boy nor WiiU count a change in gen for the one that came after because they were prematurely killed and substituted with another console within same gen.

Technology and shared library for Switch is compatible to gen 8 and won't be for gen 9 for most of it, so it makes more sense to group on gen 8 even if it end up having 2 Nintendo consoles on it.
