I talked about platform lines that are just launching can be considered part of the active gen going by the usual defintion earliar on if you read through the posts, going by the first portable released in Gen 3, GW, GB, GBC, GBA, DS, 3DS and NS would make NS Gen 9.

Either way like someone else concluded what ever definition you follow means little now as the industry moves away from typical gens.

Why do you count GBC as a separate generation but not DSi and New 3DS?

Because that's what GBC is, planned as a stop gap until the GBA arrived and given BC to help consumers migrate to it it was handled like a separate platform from the specs to the library, DSi and N3DS only have a few games exclusive to them and not an entire library. I never understood why people class them as one platform.
