I definitely would not call this the best gen. The hardware is faulty and the console 'wars' aren't producing healthy competition, but more like engrossing third parties and fans of games in bitter rivalries and hurting the gaming industry. And this all really took heavy roots last gen, during the 'console wars' between the PS2/XBOX/GC.
I fear that its going to take another gen (or two) just to get back to a neutral state where third parties actually focus on games instead of trying to work on a 'system' or targeting specific petty markets. In this way, I think the best 'gens' were the SNES/Genesis and N64/PSX gens. Even when there was tons of competition, there still was more emphasis on making fun 'games' and not making 'exclusives' or cutting a 'budget' targeting the 'core gamer'.
