Well, Switch cannot be Generation 8 (PS4, XBoxOne), simply because it was released so much later, on March 2017 if I'm not wrong, it cannot be the same generation of PS4 and X1 by "definition". Generation 9 ? nope, 'cause PS5 and XBox Scarlet family will most probably be released on Nov 2020, 3 years and half after Switch. So which Gen is Nintendo Switch ? Switch fits in its own generation, with its own game experience and features, and it does not compete directly with Sony or MS, and also all the comparison in sales among them make no sense, as Sony and MS are getting ready for Next Gen, while Switch is a new console.
I would define the Gen of Switch as an hybrid Gen.
