These just came to my mind now.
Success list:
1:Exclusives - Each console has at least 1 game that makes you want to buy it.
2: Multiplatforms - Game developers has now, for each multiplatform Hd game a 2 consoles market, since nowdays most of the games are released on Ps3 and Xbox 360 and some games to all consoles.
3:Consoles more than just a gaming system - You can do so many things on both handled consoles and home consoles comparet to last generations.
4:Online gaming - I didin't even know that I could had played online with Ps2/Xbox..
Failure list:
1:Japan developers - They were left behind this generation. Most of their games are Japan only games and those which are released here on Europe/Us usually flop.For me there has been only 1 sequel that I have liked, which came from Japan and it's Mgs4. Nintendo and Sony ofc have done their job well.
2:Jprg:s - Well...Yea.No need to comment.
3:Bugged/broken games - Back in the old days, developers made game solid diamonds. Now they release the game and then fix it with patches later on.
4: Games aimed for "mass market" - DMC.Guns.Easiest generation ever.
Take my love, take my land..
