I found a very helpful video on YouTube for this achievement but I feel like I should provide more context for getting this on console, I'll post the video below the guide
Load up a game of survival on the map Monkey Canyon and pick up some ammo packs on your way to the spot shown in the video, once there it's important that you only use the Burner gun & Minigun, you simply cannot afford to reload when you're going for this achievement as you're not only dealing with waves of enemies but RNG so these guns are optimal, you can also use the dual wield ability for extra protection
I recommend crouching for as long as possible when you're in the corner & crouching when you're going to get some more ammo (an ammo pack will always spawn in front of the spot) as sometimes the enemies that are charging into the area below you will decide to randomly attack & losing any amount of health will hurt your chances of lasting the entire 9 minutes
Don't waste your ammo all at once, use small burst shots, the only enemies that'll be able to get to your position are Kamikazes, Gnaars & Processed
Sometimes, an enemy such as the bio-mechs might shoot at you, there isn't much you can do about this unless you have time to kill them before they eventually move below you, also the Processed might run along the side & attack you from the right, it's not common but it's quite annoying and if left alive can drain your health from successive attacks

Despite the video being over a year old, that corner spot still works, within reason. It's a good chokepoint.
After each restart, unlearn the Born To Run SAM skill and replace it with Looter Shooter immediately at the start, everytime.
UPDATE:
YES! ACHIEVEMENT UNLOCKED! (0.06% rarity)
I reached 11:38.23. Sweet!
TIPS:
- Switch the SAM skills mentioned above.
- Throw about 5 C4s down to the right for the big enemies. Blow them when you have to run for resupply.
- Sit in that corner, per the suggestion of the video.
- Keep trying until the patterns and angles of the enemy is learned.
Took me about 10x.
