The 10th generation of nintendo consoles.
Doesn't mean it belongs to the 10th gen of consoles.
Nintendo is not a generation ahead of the PS5/XSX in any way, other than their own counting means.
But thats never been how we use the term "console generation".
Its always a holistic look, where you view the timeline and its competition in the market when it launches.
(ei. these consoles belong to the same generation because they compete against one another in the same time periode).
Console generation = "these consoles belong to the same generation because they compete against one another in the same time periode"
The Nintendo Switch is launching... in what generation?
That's the gen it belongs to.
Even the Wiki for the Switch, says its 8th gen.
Hell even this forum which has a very large nintendo base (compaired to other two), less than half think its 10th gen.
Going by the vote here.
That is not "pretty straigth forward", its clearly a very mixed opinion.
