I'll consider it 10th generation, but generations of gaming hardware have a lot of flaws. Atari 5200 and Colecovision should probably be a different generation, but because of the North American crash and overall failure of the 5200, they're still considered 2nd generation.
Wii didn't feel like the same generation as PS3 and Xbox 360 despite releasing around the same time, ditto Wii U with the PS4 and Xbox One. The Game Boy Color situation is a mess. It's apparently 5th generation but lumped with the sales of the Game Boy and apparently a late-life upgrade.
Switch launched a little closer to the 8th generation consoles than it did to the 9th generation consoles, but it's still been a blue ocean product during both generations.
I voted 10th generation, but there really should be a replacement for categorizing hardware cohorts than generations. Shoot, you could even have mid-gen upgrades as acceptable for a separate cohort than the base hardware.
For instance, PS4 Pro, Switch, and Xbox One X could all be lumped together as a shared cohort.
