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.

Surely that makes a lot more sense than having gen 8 launches cover a period of six years (2011-2017) which is the length of a full generation already.

How about this instead:

Gen 7: DS, PSP, 360, PS3, Wii

Gen 8: 3DS, PSV, Wii U, XBO

Gen 8.5 (Or Gen 8 done right): PS4 Pro, Xbox One X, Switch

Gen 9: PS5, Scarlet, potentially Switch successor
