I would definitely say 7th gen. The biggest install base of all time and literally everyone was playing some game due to the Wii and mobile gaming. Trust me people we are not gonna see another 300m install base for a very long time, and we will look back at this last generation as the one that brought us a lot of "Firsts."

How does userbase correlate with whether it's the Golden age or not? The question isn't which gen was the most popular...

It's just a small part of the reason it was the golden age since it shows more people than ever were playing consoles (So maybe I mean the golden age of console gaming, but I think that is what most of us are talking about anyways.)

-First massive open world games brought to the masses like Fallout and Skyrim

-First massively successful modern  FPS from COD4

-Some of the most inovative multiplayer games ever like Demon's Souls, MAG, Journey, and Read Dead Redemption.

-Games where you create and share content like LBP and FC2.

Come on people, this was the golden age.  That doesn't mean it's over, or that gaming will get worse even if it is...
