Generations are defined by time.

Gen 7: DS, PSP, 360, PS3, Wii. Launched from 2004-2006.
Gen 8: 3DS, PSV, Wii U, PS4, XB1. Launched from 2011-2013.
Gen 9: Switch, PS5, XB4. Launched from 2017-2020.

Also, I think this makes a lot of sense. Especially if we during the next few years don't get a successor to Switch (Switch 2) but instead get an incremental upgrade to Switch (Switch Pro) whose sales numbers are combined with the original Switch.

Though I can't figure out which side or argument I'm supporting by referring to Switch as 9th gen.
