What even is a "generation".

It's Nintendo's next generation console. Not sure where "ninth-gen" comes into it. Industry-wide generations is outdated and meaningless. Switch doesn't fit into that rigid mould. In fact when has Nintendo ever called one of their products either "ninth" or "eighth" generation machine?

It's a terminology I really hope dies out soon among gamers. Doesn't apply in the modern world.

If a manufacturuer decided to release a new console every 2 years would we have to have a million arguments over when the "next-generation" starts.

Without all the main platforms releasing in a semi-synchronous fashion, industry-wide generations is a null and void concept.

Agreed. It's just aword created to help compare stuff to each other, but other than that, its meaningless.

To be honest, it was really difficult for me to see the Wii U as 8th gen. Not that I thought it was that bad of a console, but nothing about it ever really stood out to me. The gamepad was cool, but not something I could see myself using very much, plus the software just felt meh. I didn't find myself looking forward to any games, like I used to on previous Nintendo systems. The only game I ever really played on mine was Donkey Kong 64.
