"Common sense" isn't objective either though, it means different things to different people.

You could argue that it's "common sense that Switch is Gen 9 cos it's the successor to the Gen 8 Wii U/3DS" and you could argue that it's "common sense it's Gen 8 cos blah blah etc etc."

Well let me ask you this curl 6, what in life really is objective in the first place? I think therefore i am? I think i simple look at context and historical precedent can get you to the right answer on this question. There can at least be a consensus made. 

I would say historical precedent can go both ways; there's precedent for instance for a "midway" console being seen as kicking off the next gen (Dreamcast) and being part of the current gen. (Colecovision)
