It depends: if the Switch's projections start to get into the 130m+ territory, people will define it as an 8th gen console or a 9th gen platform independent of traditional consoles because Sony and Microsoft diehards will not want to enter the 9th gen with a victor already decided. If projections are at roughly 100m then people will define it as a competing 9th gen console because it would be beatable. Personally, I see it as an 8th gen console because it's going to spend more of its active lifetime competing against the PS4/XB1 than the PS5/XSX.
