I respectfully disagree. I think the eighth generation has started slowly and poorly. All the negative trends begun in the seventh generation have been extended into the eighth, with unfortunate results: online passes, DRM, micro-transactions, DLC, unfinished games, out-of-control development and advertising budgets, and, worse of all, substandard game design. In no way is the eighth generation this medium's peak. Along with the seventh generation, it represents a decadent, backward period in video gaming, one I fear will continue unabated for some time.
