well, my Gen 8 started early in 2011 since I was one of early 3DS buyers. because of that I was given access to the ambassador program and got 20 free downloadable games. Already off to a good start. Later in 2012 I bought a Wii U despite hearing about all the "infamous update" news that would brick the console. I was actually able to work around it and be able to play games while it updated so that was another plus. Unfortunately later next year, I had a hardware problem with the gamepad and sent it in for repairs. But hey, it came back within 2 weeks and worked fine, and it was completely free of charge. I did have to pay to get my 3DS repaired later down the line so that was a down side... I skipped buying a PS4 or XBone after all the horror stories about them but I am planning on getting an XBone soon. Overall, not bad. I've been having the same amount of enjoyment as Gen 7 so all is good.
