Totally agree.

-Playstatation is back atop the industry with a massive lead, that continues to grow.

-Playstation Now is setting up a future were games old and new can be played in an instance on multiple devices.

-Share Play finally allows us to play games with friends without the need of two copies, and allows friends to enjoy experiences never possible before.

-Remote Play finally achieves the goal of Sony's portable gaming units by bringing the full PlayStation 4 experience, and games to Xperia phones as they were ment to be played.

-Xbox one has forced Sony to actually follow through on their all in one device under one Sony. A promise they have touted since the days of the PS2.

-Xbox One has brought the Snap feature, which should be standard on all console from here on.

-Xbox gamers are happy with their console of choice, and continue to support the industry.

-Nintendo is back on the ropes were they belong, and it looks like they have finally been forced to deliver the games we have waited for since N64.

All in all, I think fans of all console makers should be quite pleased with this generation so far. Even better look at next year. That will be the single best year in gaming history to this point. The games and services coming from the console makers make all three consoles highly desirable no matter where you stand as a gamer.

God bless Nintendo for being one of the few companies making high quality, fun, finished games!

Almost everything has being underwhelming on the HD twins, more shiny-shiny of the unimaginative same, just more buggy, beta unfinished or broken games crippled with pay to win & other sort of microtransaction milking.

When you consider that in the life span of a console, 6 years you have to pay more 150$ to play online... 400$ + 150$ = 550$ almost the price of the premium PS3 on release & that is the bottom line.

Brand integrists swallow every little bit of dogma to "support" their religion/team. Hurray for the "heresy" that is streaming game play!

Again, thank God for Nintendo still doing games or I would be a sad gamer!

Completely agree! I have never been so happy with a console during its first year as I am now. The consoles seem more stable than 7th Gen consoles as well. This will also be the first time i actually buy a Nintendo console, but it will happen next year :).



Yes it has been off to a great start. 360 and PS3 left a great legacy for both X1 and PS4 to follow. I can't wait to see what new franchises will trump all this gen. I think it's great that gaming is open to all and every genres are covered. Triple A, indies, motion controlled, online, etc. I hope the industry stays as diversified and that competition remains strong. It's a great time to be a gamer

Gamers actually happy that their consoles work & do not crap on them on release is pretty self-explanatory!

This alone shows how low the standarts have sinked!

You know what Toast. You're right and I like your optimism a lot.

awesome gen!



After 14 years away from Nintendo, i am having a blast with Wii U/3DS. Really happy with my choices so far.



I feel something is wrong cause I am here agreeing with Toast.

Well everything except "reviewers putting publishers in their place". I feel game journa has gotten worse this gen. They are nearly useless as a voice of the consumer. Useless. They just are their as dedicated marketing outlets for publishers. They are a step behind every single industry issue (except the escapist) and seem to try and downplay every consumer issue instead of get ahead of it. Yup, sad.



What? No. It's terrible for me, despite SOME amazing games on the market.

The hype culture is only increasing this gen. And the Wii U is still laughed upon.

You get access to over 100 XBO- or PS4-games in that time frame. Many of them smaller games, but the bigger titles are only a matter of time.

How many games were included in the $500-investment for a PS3?
