Last gen was sorta meh...PC gaming truly shined a lot from 1999-2006, and was far better then console gaming IMO (this gen console gaming seems to be much better so far).

Anyway...

1. PS2....the game selection is simply awesome. It had by far the best game selection. (although IMO not as good as people say) It was also pushed the most and had the second best controller.

2. Dreamcast...it had quite a few good games and was very innovative. Shame it died :(

3. GameCube....with little to no third party support and some of the worst first party games ever made by Nintendo. On the plus side, the few great games it did have were amazing, and it had the best controller, as well as the one single best game made last gen

4. Xbox....yeah...big ugly controller, VERY few games, huge system, I don't like Halo and pretty much a bust of a console, terrible, I can't really say there was a single exclusive game I truly enjoyed

PS2 > DC > GCN > Xbox

Note: I don't own an DC, but my cousin does and I played it a lot, I also don't own an Xbox, but my other cousin does and I also played it quite a bit. I didn't have a PS2 for a while but my DC owning cousin did :O he finally gave it me this year.

Are you kidding? Last gen was awesome. Online with XBOX, awesome 1st party games on the GC, and huge game variety on the PS2 made the PC pale in comparison, it's now that the PC is getting big exclusives and has better games overall.

 

Wait what?

Xbox online was lousy and you had to pay for something that was worse then what you could get on PC for free in 1998.

Their were a few very good first party games on the GCN but overall they were horrible. (super mario sunshine anyone? worst mario platformer?)

And I still don't find the PS2 game variety as good as they said....

PC gaming was where it was at from 1998-2006, and it was pretty much all of the gaming I did.

Now, PC gaming is sadly dying again. Most of the games are just Xbox 360 ports and there are very few actually good games, the only ones I'm looking forward to are Half-Life 2: Episode 3, Portal 2 and Spore.

You're so crazy :P

P.S. 16 bit generation > this generation > last generation > 8 bit generation > 32/64 bit generation

I think you're confused, PC was shining in 1998-2001 , but in 2002 it started declining and declining so that 2005-2007 were the worst years of PC gaming in terms of titles, even though we still got some amazing exclusives (Company of Heroes, WoW, World in Conflict, Witcher, etc...)

But, due to more affordable modern PC's and rise of downloadable services, the PC gaming is being risen right now and is looking to outperform any console in 2008. There are over 10 AAA PC exclusives coming out 2008, and the PC will most likely outshine the consoles again:

- The most amount of AAA exclusives

- The most amount of Multiplatform games

- PC is snatching several single-console games from PS3 (Heavy Rain, Agent, etc..), 360 (Alan Wake, Fable 2, etc..) and Wii (Rayman Raving Rabbids 2, casual games, etc...)

- Rise of old PC franchises (Starcraft, Jagged Alliance, Disciples, Fallout, etc...)

- Best versions of games.

 2008 is PC year.
