Honestly, I think it no longer makes sense to group Nintendo's consoles into the same categories as PS/Xbox as they release on different timelines now.

Ultimately, categories like Gen 8 or 9 are completely arbitrary.

I highly disagree with this. There are clearly still generations that consoles fit into. What nintendo is doing at least at the moment is releasing their console of that generation halfway through. Thats all thats happening. Its much more sensible to say that than to say they aren't in any generation. 

If it is why would you ask the question  'is nintendo the winner of the 8th gen or the 9th gen?
