Wikipedia can't even make a decision.

I don't think Wiki is the best place for sources. But there is a lot of reasoning why it should be gen 9. So what are the reasons why it should be gen 8?

I argue against using gens outside of discussions of succeeding models inside a company. But my answer is to you saying most websites classifying Switch as 8th gen. I don't know if most websites do, but that in itself is not a good reasoning at all, reasonings should be based on something else than 'others say it'. I personally think the whole categorization is futile.

EDIT: Best thing for generations is based on the time it was on market. That is generally aligning with how we outside of video games classify gens. For people for instance we have Gen X, Millenials, Zoomer, Gen α. But some Zoomers might have interests or character attributes, which align them more with Gen Xers with the same interests/characters. So the classification is purely time based, not on something else.
