It has generations of CPU and GPU that are completely seperate to what is meant by console generations. It's true that every few years the PC gets a fundamental upgrade in hardware in the form of a new shader model or DirectX feature set, but a console generation represents an order of magnitde increase in tech across the board, which then moves the industry forward as they become the new lowest common denominator for third party development. Which is why I said it affects PC positively because third party ports end up looking even better, and Switch negatively because it's a different class of hardware altogether and can hardly run a gen 8 multiplat let alone a gen 9 one. Just semantics really.
