i wonder if the answer would shift to 6th gen 10 years from now

Milennials will never know about the golden age of gaming. The greatest companies who survived the arcade era existed back then and the non-pc games were still doing very well during the golden era. Sega and Nintendo were duking it out, MS wasnt here and Sony was just entering the industry.

Given that this is very much a opinionated question (unless you are looking at sales and stuff), then you can't say that they will never know the golden age of gaming.

 

Seriously, during the golden age of gaming all types of gaming were doing well. Arcades were thriving, Consoles were growing in popularity and PC gaming was in its own world. I started gaming during the 90's but the spark seem to have started in the 80's into the 90's. Japan was doing extremely well as well.

so, you actually mean that the 7th gen was the golden age of gaming? I mean, sure arcades weren't thriving during the 7th gen, but as it has been pointed out earlier in this thread, litterally every system sold massive numbers during the 7th gen. 

Just to remind you of the incredible sales:

DS: ~150 million sold

Wii:~100 million sold

PS3~82 million sold

Xbox 360~82 million sold

PSP~80 million sold

PS: Nice stealth edit, but I saw that you wrote "was the bronze age an opinion?" like seriously? What kind of question is that? It's not even remotely comparable with this!
