It's not a fact, it's a proposal for debate. If it was presented as such, I might take it more seriously and have an intelligent conversation about it.

it is a fact. what generation could be worse? (and leave gens 1 and 2 out of it because that would be a cheap shot)

Were you an active game player during the third and fourth generation? They were full of derivative garbage. In fact, most generationshave been full of terrible games. One reason why this generation seems worse to you may be that for once the Japanese console launch happened later rather than earlier?

Anyway, as a 34-year-old who has been gaming since the NES, I don't see anything particularily bad about this gen compared to earlier ones - in fact, due to the re-emergence of small dev teams in the form of indies, I think this gen is looking to be better than the two previous ones.
