I view it as last gen.
Last gen Nintendo released 2 consoles, the Wii U, and then afterwards the Switch.
Part of the issue is sony & xbox gens are so long, and nintendo ended the wii u early to launch a new one.
Switch is a in between sort of thingy.

No, Nintendo released only the Wii U as their 8th gen console. Switch is Nintendo 9th gen system, it is their 9th family system that they have produced since they began making consoles. It's stupid to think otherwise.

And why would Sony and MS determine when a gen starts and not Nintendo?

welcome to this stupid round about, discussion again again, nautilus.

Generation = a grouping belong together.

Your useing a differnt meaning of the word than I am.
You just use nr of release from nintendo = gen of nintendo console it belongs too.

Which is fair, but I talk about the hardware as in a general sense.
This generation (hardware releaseing around the same time).

Switch released along while ago, and competed against the PS4/XB1.
