I see. Looking at the graph after reading your post, it makes more sense to my eyes.

 

I'd say sixth gen is the best place to start because that's when gaming was really mainstream, and also when multiplats became a really big thing. Iirc potential revenues for game publishers jumped way up that gen.

As far as "value" goes, most games I remember from back then were around 15 hours.i Don't really recall any blockbuster titles that were in the realm of 7 hours.

It's also the gen where game quality and variety really started to decline and stagnate. :(
