This is the first generation I'm looking at the race rationally and broadly.
I grew up on ninty. Played the competing consoles in the 4&5th gen in Genesis and PS1, but in my mind they weren't even close in terms of quality and controls. I had zero knowledge of the sales or critics. If you would have asked me as a youngster who was king of gaming I would have said a resounding nintendo.
6th Gen was bitter times. Ninty persistently curb-stopped my formerly favorite primeape DK. Mario and Zelda were less quality then what we were used to. Sony...I won't dive into that one.
All this is to say the only gen I feel I can comfortabally critique is this one. Perhaps I can look at the others retrospectivally, but it just doesn't have that same feeling. But this is an interesting gen for sure. Sales figures are not what was expected. Declaring who is at fault for nintendo's severe lack of 3rd party(nintendo's technical deficenncies or 3rd party irrational excuses). MS and Sony jumping on the motion bandwaggon. The market holding 3 relatively thriving consoles. Sony bringing in a slew of first party games. Pretty interesting I'd say.
