Switch is Gen 8 not 9 so it has no head start to be honest. At least that is the consensus. 

More than 50% believe that, but it is not a consensus.  In this case the majority are wrong.

Just so I am sure and not to jump to conclusions.

So you believe the NS is a 9th gen console? And as such the NS already has a 30M+ lead into the 9th gen?

If your answers to the above is yes and yes then my next question is.

If consoles are grouped into generations by a combination of factors like time/period of release, technologies that define the platform and software library...... how can something that is released in the 8th gen (in the time of the PS4/XB1), shares a library with other 8th gen platforms (when we say NS gets multiplat games we are talking of games that are also on the PS4/XB1) and uses technology similar to other 8th gen platforms (UE4, Unity....etc) be considered as a 9th gen platform?

Also, so if your theory still persists, when the "other" 9th gen consoles are released (PS5/XB4) what does that make the NS when it no longer recives ports of "multiplat games" because its hardware can't handle them? Further more' what do we now cal the NS2 which could be released in 2023/2024 that can then handle mutiplats from the other PS5/XB4? 10th gen?
