Holy crap, why is it so hard for some to grasp that Switch is a 9th gen console? Sure, it will be 3 years that it has "competed" with the PS4 and XBO, but it will most likely have 4+ years of competing with the PS5 and XB2. Nintendo has also stated that they plan on riding out Switch for as long as they can. This most likely means a upgraded version, a la the Pro. And really, Switch would have probably arrived a year later had the Wii U not turned out so poorly.

Sadly, it seems some silly people on Wikipedia decided to label it 8th gen, too.  So, Nintendo has 3 8th gen consoles?  Ridiculous.  So, are people really going to try to say that the span of time for a beginning of a gen is now over 5 years long?  That's pretty much a freaking generation in itself.  Previously, it was only ~2-3 years.
