In terms of games, worse. If we go back to around 2000 then a lot worse.
(Why did you specifically pick the two years 2006-2008?)

In terms of technology, mostly an improvement. Harddrives, better online, share play, sleep mode, etc.

Hard drives an improvement in technology?  Magnetic track recording invented in the 1950s is "better technology" ? ROFL.

I don't have a single magnetic track recording device in my home.  I prefer access times of NOW rather than 15 minutes from now.
