I think it's more appropriate to lump consoles based on hardware feature sets... So with that in mind, the Switch would be an 8th generation machine as it has all the hallmarks of 8th gen hardware features. I.E. Direct X 11 featuresets encompassing things like Tessellation, Compute Shader, Geometry Shader etc'.
..And that is in part due to using nVidia Maxwell GPU hardware which was a Direct X 11 designed part.

The 9th gen would encompass 1st generation hardware Ray Tracing consoles. Aka. Series S/X, Playstation 5 and Switch 2.

7th gen was all about fully programmable pixel shaders.

That is super interesting. I don't know much about the hardware specific features. If it isn't a bother I would like to see your Generations list. Would that be possible?

I think you mean the Famicom started the 3rd in 1983.

Switch is a 1st Generation Hybrid. Switch 2 will be a 2nd generational hybrid. Let's stop lumping a device that's in its own category with more traditional consoles.

Glad you think so.

Switch 1 current generation.
Switch 2 upcoming generation.

Me too

It is objectively eighth gen, but a lot of people want to classify it ninth... for some odd reason. Personally, I don't understand it, because that means what, Nintendo released two eighth gen consoles? lol. It makes no sense. A gen is simply a successor. It has nothing to do with power/tech etc.

Did you change your mind mid-sentence or what?

Why does it make sense to group it with either? In what situation is that classification useful?
