I'm enjoying this gen, I mean I just technically joined it a month ago (with a used PS4 from Amazon for cheap), but so far so good. Games run the way they're supposed to now (I remember quite a few games when the 360 launched that had a lot of framerate drops, and lets compare say how well Saint's Row ran as compared to say Infamous Second Son). The systems operate like PCs with limited though useful multi-tasking. The games are about what you'd expect for a newly launched system, while last gen offered up Oblivion in the March following launch (for the 360) which is a bit better than either of the current big March offerings (InFamous SS and Titanfall, both are good but neither great).
So in the end, so far so good. The only thing I don't like is having to pay for online play on both systems. It makes owning both a pain in the butt, and Microsoft really needs to drop the subscription requirement for video services like Netflix.
Regardless, this thread is severely jumping the gun. It has been 6 months, all these systems are lackluster in their first, I dunno, year - and actually I'm not having that problem with this gen yet. Also, the number of pixels have been one of the biggest issues with every gen since 3D was introduced. Resolution has always been a big deal, or else we'd still be sitting pretty on 480p TVs. Framerate is still more important.
Regardless, it's still a better start than the Xbox 1.5 (as it was so lovingly called for its first year) had, though Killzone gives Perfect Dark Zero a run for its mediocre money. The PS3 was even more of a dud until Uncharted came out.
