Which console generation was better? 4th vs 5th

[Veknoid_Outcast]

This is really tough. I think the fifth gen had a larger number of great games, but the fourth gen's great games were, in general, better than their counterparts in the 5th.

I guess I'll give it to the fifth, since almost all parties involved turned out gems: Ocarina and Mario 64 on N64, Tomb Raider and Metal Gear Solid on PS1, Panzer Dragoon and NiGHTS on Saturn, StarCraft and Half-Life on PC, etc.
