Is nintendo the winner of the 8th gen or the 9th gen?

I didn't say that either. I simply pointed out that your criteria for defining Switch as Gen 8 is arbitrary; you say PS5 is 9th because it's still selling, but so is Switch. 

You say it was because Switch was released during Gen 8, but then why is March 2017 "during gen 8" but November 2020 suddenly next gen?

Because the ps5/series x launched? Creating the new genn.

Or is nintendo the only one who says when the next genn is upon us?

Let me help you, you seem confused:

3th gen: NES (1983)

4th gen: Mega Drive (1988)

5th gen: 3DO (1993)

6th gen: Dreamcast (1998)

7th gen: Xbox 360 (2005)

8th gen: Wii U (2012)

See? Nobody can or want to make that claim. It is really baffling how you got to that non sensical conclusion from your exchanges in this thread.

You are the one that is basically saying that Nintendo can't start a generation for no good reason
