This is a whole 'nother kettle of fish that's a bit off topic, but I wouldn't call the Switch a full generation behind PS4/Xbone, as it outperfoms last gen by quite a bit and its actually more modern hardware than PS4/Xbone. Probably a conversation for another thread though haha.

Switch isn't a gen behind (it is quite weaker but that is a different thing), but people calling it 9th gen are even more wrong. Also I don't remember features or capabilities (besides portability) on Switch that can't be one on the PS4 and X1.

The newer features Switch supports are stuff like 3rd Gen Delta Colour Compression as a result of it being a chip from 2015 rather than 2012/2013. It's still significantly less powerful than PS4/Xbone due to being much smaller and having to run on a fraction as much electricity though, but the newer features make it more efficient.
