I think it's more appropriate to lump consoles based on hardware feature sets... So with that in mind, the Switch would be an 8th generation machine as it has all the hallmarks of 8th gen hardware features. I.E. Direct X 11 featuresets encompassing things like Tessellation, Compute Shader, Geometry Shader etc'.
..And that is in part due to using nVidia Maxwell GPU hardware which was a Direct X 11 designed part.

The 9th gen would encompass 1st generation hardware Ray Tracing consoles. Aka. Series S/X, Playstation 5 and Switch 2.

7th gen was all about fully programmable pixel shaders.

That is super interesting. I don't know much about the hardware specific features. If it isn't a bother I would like to see your Generations list. Would that be possible?



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 160 million (was 120 million, then 140 million, then 150 million)

PS5: 130 million (was 124 million)

Xbox Series X/S: 54 million (was 60 million, then 57 million)
