Which generation of console gaming was the biggest leap forward?

Definitely 5th gen by a country mile.

I'm going to assume 9th gen will hopefully be a lot different than 8th in which we see a much bigger leap along with VR being the norm across 2-3 platforms instead of just one, that and some AR and all 3 being neck and neck instead of 1. (bad competition when there is just 1).

I think the 9th gen will be like the 6th gen. Right now in gen 8, PS4 is basically taking the place of the PS1 and the N64, ushering in the next era of gaming. We will have some games that stand the test of time, and some games that are amazing at launch, but only set the foundation for much better games in the future. 

I think PS5 and VR will be the next PS2. 80% market share, many exclusives, fully realized VR gaming, but still not as awesome as PS4 and VR due to just being refinments to a way of play already evolutionized on PS4.

As for the (). Having one leader puts the focus on games, and thats what its all about. Gen 7 was a nightmare with all three systems within ~10M units. I nope that never happens again.
