Hmm personally I think Switch is gen 8 as a mid gen substitute for the WiiU. But I mean they aren’t competing for specs and top 3rd party games like Sony and MS are now. They just doing their own thing. MS is doing that too but is still very much competing in the traditional sense as well. 

Competition is not based on specs or AAA third party games.  Competition is based on customers.  Nintendo is competing for Sony's customers.  

Meanwhile Microsoft is no longer competing for Sony's customers.  They are competing for Stadia's customers.

MS is competing for Sony’s customers. Hundreds of millions of 3rd party games sell over the course of a generation that frankly don’t make it to Nintendo because they opt for lower specs in favour of a unique hardware. 3rd party games largely skip Switch and if they are lucky they get select games years later. 

Let’s all not forget the real reason why consoles exist. The massive money from 3rd parties, you know, 95% of a consoles library. And it’s just a fact that Xbox and PS share a almost identical library compared to Switch.
