I completely completely agree with your point Onyxmeth. However, he did proclaim a golden era for gaming which was the point I was mostly disputing. Having said that, If you allow me to be bold enough to proclaim this era the golden era. I say this because I believe, that in the simplest terms, an industries Golden Age is the age when it reaches it's peak. The video game industry is almost on par with the film industry in terms of popularity and surpasses in terms of quality. More Importantly, game quality and popularity has never been higher in our history. There's no saying that the industry won't become even more popular and of even higher quality but I believe it won't. Why? Simply because popularity is the end of everything. Popularity means money, bankable etc. Money eventually errodes everything. This is most true when speaking about creativity and passion. I predict that by the late 8th Generation, gaming will commence it's downward spiral.

If you completely agree with my point then why are you still trying to prove this to be a golden era in gaming? My point was that you can't correctly evaluate an era and it's status as golden as it's going on. It's something we as a collective gaming community reflect upon years later and make a majority decision on.
