Generations are now broken down into two halves.
I consider the Switch 2 to be gen 9.5 (or Gen 9-B) like PS5-pro, PSVR2 and MetaQuest 3.
in the same way as Gen 8 was divided into two halves.

---------------------------8th Gen----------------------------

Gen 8-A:
3DS, Wii U, PS4, & Xbox One

Gen 8-B:
Switch 1, PS4 Pro, PSVR, Oculus Rift, Meta Quest 1

---------------------------9th Gen----------------------------

Gen 9-A:
PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Meta Quest 2

Gen 9-B:
PS5-Pro, PSVR2, PlayStation Portal, Meta Quest 3, Switch 2.

---------------------------------------------------------------

You could also say the Switch 1 is both Gen 8-B/9-A.
and the Switch 2 is both Gen 9-B/10-A.

I don't know if the Steam Deck would be considered Gen 9-A or 9-B (or just simply 9th gen) as it got released in 2022.

Gen 7: Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, DS, PSP

Gen 8: Xbox One, WiiU, PS4, 3DS, PSV

Gen 9: Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PS5

Gen 10: Switch 2, (most likley PS6) and Xboxwhatever if MS does another round.

What have Meta quest, Portal, PSVR to do with generations? Meta Quest, Oculus, PSVR... are vr headsets- maybe we could devide them in VR generations (PSVR would be Nr.1 i guess because i remember Sony anouncing 5 million+ for that one and that it was the most sold VR headset at that time- a number that is serious and realistic, that i believe is really true compared to some other product from the past😉)

Portal is a streaming controller, i also cannot add Kinect in Gen 7 as it was no seperate console. Steam Deck? Hmm ok maybe it could somehow fit in Gen 9, but there would be a lot of Switch haters and some Steam Deck fanboys critisising the comparision between those for obvious reasons. So for me Steam Deck is more part of Gen 9 than Portal or PSVR because both are add ons.
