The thing I hate about the current generation, is that they just don't care about the games anymore, it's all about the money, for example, some games force you to pay for DLC to get certain content, even though in some cases, it's already IN the game, it just unlocks them. Also, the games consoles have the same problem, remember when people had their preferences over a certain console because of the games? Well nowawdays, it's just "My console has more features than yours".
Looking in retrospect, I don't think any of these consoles are going to be rememberd as being good.
People bash the Xbox due to it's lack to exclusives (which BTW I disagree with), it had the Halo series, the Blinx series, the WWF Raw series, Half-Life 2, Outrun 2, Jet Set Radio Future, Robot Wars: Extreme Destruction and a few more, and people say the Xbox 360 is better, but think about this, How many major exclusves does the Xbox 360 have? I can only think of the Gears of war and Halo series, the 360 is suffering the same fate, and adding on the Red rings, I can just imagine in when the Xbox 36o dies, people are gonna bash it even more than the did the origonal.
I think the PS3 will be remembered as killing the Playstation brand for the same reason, it lacks good exclusives, the PS1 and PS2 had tonnes, but the only ones I hear about on the PS3 are the Uncharted series and Resistence series. (both of which BTW, I think are overated)
I remember a couple of my friends who happen to be Nintendo fans (but not fanboys) said the Wii will save Nintendo's reputation after what happened to the Nintendo 64 and the Gamecube, but it turns out the Wii made it even worse, I can understand the idea of casual games, to help bring the family together and such, but the plan backfired if you ask me, because when we first got the Wii, we used to always arge on who's getting the next shot, which pulled us even further apart.
I think this generation is f*cked up, so I decided to go Retro gaming, and I don't regret it!
This is just my personal opinion, I'm probably gonna get bashed for it though.
