No, generations are about time, and specs, and games of that gen.
What your talking about, is just a release number. Switch is the 9th nintendo console, so its 9th gen. Thats a release number.
a generation is a "whole" picture of consoles, that release around the same time, with the sameish specs, that play the sameish games. (as it is with other "generations" when you use that word, applying to other things than consoles)

You are pulling this out of nothing just bc Sony and MS do the same thing since the 7th gen

Thats what a generation is.
Multiples that are from around the same time, that act the same way, or have experianced the same things, have the same outlooks ect.
Thats when you talk about "generations".
Your just confuseing "release number" with generation, the word and meaning.
