Pretty sure this is mirroring the last time Nintendo had a major flop (Virtual Boy), and this is their mulligan to the Wii U (much like the Gameboy Color was for Virtual Boy).

So 8th Gen.

I'm on the "gens is a flawed concept" camp. At least the gens that try to shoehorn every system together.
I can see the switch being Nintendos 7 gen console, while the PS4 is Sony's 4rth gen and the Xbone is Microsofts 3rd.

you mean 9th gen? :p

Nope, the gens are Switching up now so it's the 10th gen

Yeah deems a decent way to look at it. The original 1st and 2nd gen consoles aren't even in the game anymore

Yeah I meant 9th gen lol

Why not fix the title then?

Oh, yeah, that does make sense. Thanks for the clarification, haha.

Nintendo also had "Gen 7" jerseys for the Switch trailer: http://kotaku.com/what-it-was-like-to-make-the-nintendo-switch-trailer-a-1788202165

Generations are defined by time, not by power. If your father is strong and your are a weakling you are still one generation "ahead" of him. If the PS5 has half the power of the PS4 Pro and is a hybrid system it will still be a next generation system.

So, if we really want to keep things in order: Going strictly by timing of release (!) and ignoring all that "power" talk I'd say PS4 Pro, Switch and Scorpio are generation 9 consoles. I know some people's ego depletes if their console isn't a generation ahead of everyone else's (or whatever the matter is here) and I know PS4 Pro and Scorpio are just beefed up versions of their original incarnations - but so what? Who cares? All we need generations for are Wikipedia articles and that would be the neatest way to sum everything up. No console has to feel singled out this way, isn't that great?

well, who´s counting right? this lost all meaning a while ago
