I'm not sure if we're still discussing the OP, but I find this overrall "panic" about the "lack of excitement" of gen 8 pretty ridiculous.
To this day, every single generation took at least one year to really pick up. I just wanna remind you that the fifth gen only began in 1996, a full two years after its beginning. Try to remember a great game from back then, I assure you it's not from 94 or 95.

And yet, the 8th gen needs to be awesome a mere 5 months after its beginning. Fascinating. Gamers have a really short memory.

8th gen's been going for 17 months.

Wii U competed with the wall for 2012 and 2013. We all know the 8th gen only began in 2013 (much like the 7th gen began in 2006, not 2005).
