    Can you say "False Start"

    What a massive letdown this generation has been. Constant delays, basic features still missing from the consoles, almost the entire library consisting of HD ports of previous generations and now they are already bringing out new consoles. "The last generation was too long" cried the developers. Then why were you all wholly unprepared for this one? 3 years of a dusty console. All my hopes are riding on 2017, but with the way things are going, I fully expect a ton of "delayed till 2018" announcements :/

      Editing … I have to admit that handhelds this generation have been much better than the consoles. The Vita and moreso the 3DS have phenomenal libraries of games with many different genres for any niche.

      Editing … This generation had Bloodborne and Rocket League. Not much else. I don't even wanna mention the bullshit path consoles are taking...

      Editing … Sadly I agree. I had no incentive to buy any of the new consoles yet :(

      Editing … Yes, this generation is absolutely terrible. Wii U is by far the worst console. Even though I bought it used I regret every € I paid for it. PS4 is shitty too, because you have to pay for online gaming. And don't even get me started on Xbox... It's time to join the master race.

      Editing … Hey now the Xbox One has two games. And by my latest count the PS4 has seven. All things considered I think this generation has been a rousing success.

      Editing … But yeah what Retro Wolf said, in this day and age you really need a handheld and a PC if you want fun. And you've all already got the PC!

      Editing … I wouldn't call last gen a false start Rukk. The two major consoles launched with fully integrated online services, digital stores and a huge upgrade in hardware. PS3 had a built-in Blu-ray player, web browser and backwards compatability with a huge library of titles and free online gaming. By this point in their respective cycles, there were a ton of great games for PS3 and 360 like Uncharted, Mirror's Edge, Metal Gear Solid 4, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Motorstorm, Oblivion, Portal, Grand Theft Auto IV, Disgaea 3, Dead Space, Bioshock, Fallout 3, Street Fighter IV, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dead Rising, Gears of War, Crackdown, Halo 3, Mass Effect, Rock Band, Lost Odyssey, Battlefied: Bad Company, Supreme Commander. I don't claim to know enough about Wii to comment on that, but it WAS one of the world's fastest-selling consoles, having sold 76 million units in it's first 4 years compared to the Wii U's 13 million.

      Editing … How was the last gen a false start? At launch, the 7th gen hardware was BETTER than PCs for like, a solid two months. And unlike the 8th gen systems, developers didn't reach the limits of their hardware for YEARS. That's why the generation lasted so long, because it was so technically good. Not like the PS4 and Xbone where they were technically outdated before release, and games could push their limits right out the gate.
