Thoughts on this new generation, which is off to a great start.

Give me three new IPs made within the first year of the last generation that match the size and quality of Titanfall, Watch Dogs, and Destiny.

Also, please remember that the beginning of a generation =/= the end of a generation. The beginning of the PS360 gen was marred by hardware unfamiliarity. As devs got better with the hardware, the games got better too. So now, as the devs have become so familiar with the PS360, they can more easily port games from current gen to last gen. Titanfall, Watch Dogs, and Destiny are made possible on PS360 because of this familiarity. This would not have been possible at the beginning of last gen.

Compare the FPS at the launch of the PS3 (Resistance: Fall of Man) as well as the first Call of Duty to Destiny. While Resistance is admittedly a better game in terms of story and gameplay, Destiny is just so much more MASSIVE. That's the point I'm trying to make here.

I'll name 4. Saints Row, Kameo - Elements of Power, Gears of War and Perfect Dark Zero.

And thats just Xbox 360, pretty sure that Uncharted landed on PS3 in the first year also.

It did. The first year of PS3 also saw Assassin's Creed and COD4.

Yeah. This generation has been wholly underwhelming so far.

The best games have been the ones we don't even talk about, like Child of Light and Wolfenstein.
