When no more consoles are being sold.

If Gen 6 ended when all Gen 7 consoles were on the market, then the PS2 has only sold ~ 110 Million.

We know that to be false.

So when somebody asks you, "Mr Carl90210, what console generation are we in currently?", you reply that we are in two generations simultaneously?

Yes.

Think of it using Humanity as an example. Our generation wont die off when our kids take our place. We keep going. Were still relevant. Our generation ends when theres none of us left or we become so few we are irrelevant.

@walsufnir...

Id. Wow. Id buy the shit out of that at the highest damn price I could. Its so pretty!

All right, how about a different angle:

How would you define "current gen"? Or more specifically, when does "current gen" start?
