If things go the way they seem to be going this will be the most boring generation to watch. It was fun with PS3 being the underdog, but always with potential to come from behinds and if not win the generation be the strongest finisher. And it is so delicious being right about momentum way back in 2009, even before the big price cut, when a few of us said that PS3 would finish strongly and carry the most momentum into the next generation. And this was at a time when some people thought Wii would sell 200 million units
And it was amazing to see the 360 lead over PS3 balloon out to almost 10 million units, and have MS fans saying that PS3 would have to outsell 360 by 50,000 per week for 3 years in order to overtake the 360. And that this was an impossibility so 360's second place was assured.
The 7th generation was the most fun generation to watch for sales. But this generation looks decidedly less interesting, and worse still we'll be watching a decline in total sales. So even celebrating a probable PS4 win for the 8th generation seems like a hollow victory.
