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)

Well yes there is context that you have to use when things dont line up as neatly as youd like them to. For dreamcast, it released in 1999 but is part of 6th gen because its harware is more comparable there. Colecovision was 1982 near the end of the 2nd generation but its hardware is more comparable to 2nd gen consoles.
