The switch is neither 8th nor 9th gen. WIsh people would stop putting it with traditional console generations. It's a 1ST Generation Hyrbid Nintendo console. It's in a category of its own.

Strange though that people want to separate so much these two machines, they have nearly same capacities, same games, same size in hand, main concept is the same except that one is limited to 12 meters, the other one is infinite distance from dock. Games of the WiiU were all ported to Switch, Nintendo has proposed the "retro compatibility" where you pay two times full price a same game, and you all decided to deny this and call it "9th gen" instead.

Wii is a 7th Generation console. Wii U is the direct successor to Wii and the first console of the 8th generation. 3DS is the first dedicated handheld of its generation as a direct successor to DS. The switch is a successor not to just Wii U but also 3DS. The switch is not just a successor to Wii U or 3DS but Nintendo's entire console and handheld divisions. Merging the two departments internally. That merge gave us the Switch. The Nintendo Switch in both hardware/internal structure of Nintendo HQ and marketing. It is a 1ST GENERATION Hybrid Nintendo System. Period.
