Personally I consider the Switch a mid-gen sort of thing, that would have been a 9th gen system, if Nintendo hadn't screwed up with their Wii U, which was unpopular and caused Nintendo to make a successor a little earlier than what was typical for them. The Switch 2 will also likely be a mid-gen sort of thing that releases in 3 or 4 years time, and a Switch 3 (or whatever it is that Nintendo decides to call their system) will probably release fairly close to the PS6/Xbox5 release, (maybe a year or 2 after depending on how popular the Switch 2 was) and they will all be 10th gen systems.

What I would find odd is the Switch, Xbox series X and PS5 all being 9th gen systems, the Switch 2 being classified as a 10th gen system when it gets released in 2023 or whenever, and the Switch 3, Xbox 5 and PS6 all being 11th gen systems when they get released between the years 2027 - 2029. That scenario would pretty much put the Switch 2 in a generation by itself, which as I said, I'd find that odd.
