I use to say this was simple, because gens are not about power, they are about successive hardware launches. But the Switch is not the successor to the Wii-U (home console). The Switch is the successor of the 3DS (handheld). So I don't know, anymore. I think when it comes to this particular debate, I'm going to check out.

It's the successor to both the Wii U and 3DS, combining their software and hardware into one that you can use as a handheld and connect to the TV to use it as a home console.

Though to be fair, this debate just like what generation the Switch belongs is useless. It really doesn't matter.
