Maybe because I entered gaming more hardcore this gen, but gen 8. No competition.

Well, tides could turn. I'm still getting Wii games, I'm trying to get as many PS3 games as I can, and I just got a new laptop to play *mostly* old games (not necessarily Gen 7 and earlier, but I cant afford new AAA games every month these days)

Gen 7 was really where I started to expand my horizons. Before that, I was solely a Nintendo gamer. Then I got my PS3, and eventually a 360, and I got my first handheld with the DS, and I've played far more genres and games in general because of that. There was also way more games that had released by this time last gen that I absolutely fell in love with. Gen 8 hasn't had nearly as many games like that.

Where's the "Gen 8, more fun" voting option?

PS4, because everything work on PS3 is too limited and too slow for me

but actually i play most on Vita

I probably played more in gen 7 than in 8, though my gaming time became much more limited once gen 7 started due to starting university. So I probably played more during gen 7, but I feel not that much more...

It feels odd saying that for gen 8, Ninten's done pretty well with supplying games for their systems, while I feel on Sony and MS's side they just beginning to hit their stride.

Gen 7

My playtime for the NDS = 3DS + Wii U combined most likely..

Didn't play too much on the Wii though

Forever SNES+PS1. Still the golden age before stupid shooters came and ruined it for everyone.

7th gen was horrible for me. PS3 launch was a failure, Wii introduced casual waggle shovelware and got people thinking Angry Birds quality shit is a video game, and 360 dominated with shooters and sports and built up the too cool for my goatee bro audience and shifted the whole gamer demographic.

End of 6th gen and start of 7th gen started the decline of the Japanese developers and the rise to dominance of shallow Hollywood action Billy Badass western games dominated by American developers.  This is probably the most painful. Konami, Capcom, Working Designs, Square, Rare, so many greats buckled under the Call of Duty disease that infected 7th gen because this new casual "mature" demographic demanded nothing but guns and explosions.

All the once great franchises like Mana, Breath of Fire, Suikoden, Wild Arms, etc that we had since SNES+PS1 just suddenly vanished for 7th gen.  What was left like Resident Evil and Final Fantasy fell victim to lowest common denominator Call of Duty players catering disease.

At least we got a few gems like Xenoblade Chronicles, Ni no Kuni, The Last of Us that could stand up to the story, emotion, music, and character attachment standards set in the mid 90s by SNES+PS1.

I've spent less time with gen 8, but that's probably because by late 2009 I had both a Wii and a PS3. I think all of that will change once I get a PS4.

I report this post because of no mention for the psp and psvita.
