NPD hasn't used 8th/7th gen for years. Hardware is considered either current or legacy.

I don't remember NPD ever using numbers to describe generations.

I remember them changing to the current/legacy distinction a few years ago, so they did something before then.

Basically just means that whatever is currently selling is "current" so NPD can't be used as an argument towards Switch being 8th gen. Going forward, who really cares as the numbering is meaningless now anyway. Today it's just "here's a group of machines that are viable for business right now." and that will change over the years.
