8th is definitely off to an infinitely better start than 7th gen. The resurgence in JRPGs, the popularity of "retro gaming", the embracing of and massive rise and maturing of indie dev studios.
The genre diversity and focus on pure fun and story telling again is a sigh of relief.
7th gen went on to hard with putting photorealism and graphics and realistic guns and explosions and reality simulation on too high of a pedestal.
It's nice to see people embracing games that are just fun and display more vibrant color than just olive drab and desert tan.
