The Nintendo Switch is generation...

You are wrong, Jaguar have 8 64 bit processor, so with my marketing shenanigans I call it a 512-bit gen system.

OK, IGN.

 

They once added the clock speed of the 3 core X360 CPU to call it a 9.6 GHz system.  They edited the article pretty damn fast.

And that is why they are specialists and us mere users =p

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.

So how do I play my WiiU games on Switch or my Switch games on WiiU? Where is the compatibility?

So how many generations must we add on the Handhelds due to Game Boys versions that older GBs couldn't play some games from newer, DS1 and N3DS?

Game&Watch -1

GB -2

Virtual Boy -3

GBC - 4

GBA - 5

DS - 6

DSi - 7

3DS - 8

N3DS - 9

Switch - 10

Is that how you would classify gen for Nintendo Handhelds?

Plus it seems like you just ignored the part of Virtua Boy and WiiU being killed of prematurely and being replaced, plus the HW inside Switch being in line with what we have in gen 8 but won't be for gen 9.
