| Dr.Vita said: 8th generation Switch released early 2017 only a few months after we got the PS4 Pro and Xbox One X mid-gen upgrades in 2016. And the next Playstation and Xbox consoles will most likely release not earlier than 2020. There's no way to consider the Switch a 9th gen console when it launched alongside the mid-gen upgrades of the 8th generation consoles. In some way we could consider the Switch as a mid-gen upgrade for the Wii U. The only reason why people claim that Switch is 9th generation is because they can't deal with the fact that in 1.5-2 years Switch will already be outdated by the PS5/Next Xbox. |
So which gen was the Vita in your opinion? It was already outdated by the Xbox 360 and PS3 from the start and there is clearly a generational leap between Vita and Switch (both mobile hardware with battery constraints, volume constraints and thermal constraints).
