increased competition = cluster fucked generation of gaming.
The 360 is a shotty piece of Hardware with limited Backwards Compatibility that has a limited library of genres and a fast declining stake in the market.
The PS3 is an over the top exercise in excess which has been forced to hack and slash away its features and capabilities just to be affordable sacrificing Backwards Compatibility. Not to mention the trainwreck that is Six-Axis, the mediocrity of PS-Eye and the fact that almost every third party game that is also on the 360 is better on the 360.
The Wii is a console with limited graphical power and a handicapped library suffering from lack of serious third party support and no sign of this ever being fixed.
All three consoles have serious significant problems. There is really no clear winner unless you say the Wii and even then its a bittersweet Victory I assure you.
Tell me exactly how anyone if fucking winning this generation with three consoles wrought with a meriad of problems that renders all three as bittersweet options. And with games $10 more expensive on two of the three consoles and the average console cost jumping from $200-$300 to $400-$600 this generaiton, how the hell are prices being cut? Oh a cheaper PS3? Sorry I don't think it counts when you have to gimp the console to make it affordable.
It was competition that pushed Sony and MS to build two of the biggest and most financially inflated consoles the main stream market has ever seen. The Consumers are not winning here.
The only thing competition has done for this generation is create a generation where the average consumer has to buy all three consoles just to induldge his typically modest interests in games. Franchises are splattered haphazardly across consoles with no regard for fanbase. The only thing competition is benefiting this generation are the third party developers, and even then that's debateable.
What do you call a generation where no one wins? You call it "this generation".
