Generations don't end/start abruptly, there is overlap.
To me a Generation ends, when the last 1st party exclusive is released for that generation, and the new generation begins when the replacement console is released, AND no more 1st party exclusives are in the works for previous generations. For for Nintendo, the 8th generation has started, since no more DS and Wii games are in development from Nintendo. However Sony and MS are still in the 7th generation, so right now we're in a 7/8th generation overlap, where Nintendo and Sony handhelds have clearly transitioned to the 8th gen, while HD consoles remain on the 7th gen, which is ending.
After The Last of Us and Gears of War: Judgement release, to me, the 7th generation will be over. While the 8th generation will be official to me, Sony and MS will still have yet to enter a console to compete. However the focus will have permanently switched to the 8th gen.

i can get with this, but i'm in doubt of when exclusives will no longer be available for PS3.

Sony usually don't release 1st party exclusives more then 1 year after a successor is released. PS1's last 1st party exclusive was Twisted Metal: Small Brawl which released only a few months after PS2 did in Americas. PS2's last 1st party exclusive was God of War 2 which released 5 months after the PS3, and I'm not sure if we will see anything after The Last of Us for PS3.

In which case, The Last of Us is a very fitting title. As for the other game with "The Last" in its title, I think it might simply move to PS4. Would explain a lot about why Sony is keeping a tight lid on it.
