That makes sense but in that case wouldn't Wii U be a 7th gen console as the majority of its multiplat games were available on PS3 and Xbox 360?
If Switch 2 launches around the same time as PS5 and XB4 (or 1-2 years after), I'd tend to agree with you. But if Switch gets an incremental upgrade like PS4 Pro whose sales numbers are counted together with the base model, I think it makes sense to consider Switch as part of 9th gen as it competes with the 9th gen consoles. But really, my point was more so based around the silliness of arguing whether Switch is 8th/9th gen and handheld/home/hybrid. I don't see why it matters. Edit: Yet, here I am arguing about that. Call it whatever you want. Forget I asked |
Well I don't remember many games being available for WiiU and PS360, but if they were you could put both on same gen sure, and their power would be much closer than WiiU to X1.
Yes if Switch receive a Pro that have back and forth compatibility with the baseline and receives the multiplats from PS5 and XB4 sure I can accept it being more of a 9th gen than 8th.
