When does a generation end?

A generation doesn't end until all of its consoles are off the market. We may switch our terminology to refer to newer devices as "current-gen", and the older ones "last-gen", but multiple hardware generations can run concurrently. Actually, gen 6 is still ongoing right now since the PS2 is still being sold. Three generations at once. Probably for not much longer.

I would argue generation 6 ended when developpers stopped making PS2 games.

The last PS2 game ever released (to my knowledge) came out September of this year.

Was it a PS2 specific game or a downport of a current gen game?

Oh, wait - it's a November release, and not confirmed to be the final PS2 game. The game in question is the latest entry in the Pro Evolution Soccer franchise, which to my knowledge is very platform-neutral. Whether or not it is a "downport" doesn't matter to me, because it ultimately counts as support for the console.
