Generations are certainly more slippery than they used to be, but I would classify it as a 10th gen console. Nintendo launched its 8th gen consoles 3DS and WiiU in 2011 and 2012 respectively, and followed them up with its 9th gen console Switch in 2017. Since Switch 2 is the successor to Switch, it’s 10th gen.

Is this important? No, not really. But it makes it easier to categorize and compare things.
