With Nintendo Switch launch. Do you agree with this statement? Tell us why.



Around the Network

Nope. It's still technically an 8th gen platform if we're going by the current definition (which is getting weird with PS4Pro and Scorpio releasing).



Gen's aren't as simple anymore. I think we're basically done with numbering with!



Sure, why not. Its not like gens mean anything anyway.



Well in factual terms, console generations are not opinions you can pick and choose where they stand. The Switch is a successor to the Wii U and 3DS which were 8th gen Home and Handheld consoles so therefore in a factual context the Switch is 9th gen.



Around the Network

Nope. Still this gen.



Isn't it just nintendo switch 6th gen console?



Nope. Ps4 still beats it.
Its 6th gen upgrade

The Atari 5200 was the successor to the 2600, but they're both considered second generation consoles. If the Switch ends up primarily competing against eighth gen consoles, I guess there's an argument to be made that it's also eighth gen.



nope, a gen start when sony says so
