Being $100 cheaper would already be enough for the hypothetical series s to be viable. And only switch is 9th gen. Ps5 and xsx will kickstart the 10th gen.

Don nailed it. No, Switch is not the only 9th gen platform. Series S/X and PS5 will be part of that.

Being viable and being the best selling hardware is not the same. Viable just means a platform doing well enough.

I think we agree Series S's sales potential grows with a bigger price disparity to PS5. It needs to be like $200 cheaper to really get people looking at Series S and MS would have to demonstrate its still very capable hardware.

From a hardware feature set perspective... I would personally lump the Switch in with 8th gen and label the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5 as 9th gen.
By that same token I would also call the Wii U, 7th gen and the Wii, 6th gen due to how their hardware aligns with industry technological trends.

From a release date perspective the Switch is 9th along with the Xbox Series X and Playstation 5.
