Yes it is. It succeeded the 8th gen Wii U and 3DS, therefore it is a 9th gen console, regardless of whether it released earlier than PS5 and XSX.

The Dreamcast launched in 1998, two years before the PS2 and three before Gamecube and Xbox, does it therefore belong to the 5th gen with the N64 and PSX? No, of course not. It succeeded the 5th gen Saturn, and is therefore a 6th gen console. Same applies for the Switch.
