Half the time, the even numbered generations are boring. This is because coincidentally the odd numbered generations introduce new and innovative things, while the generation directly afterwards is more of the same, but with better graphics. Which is uninteresting. This is why my libraries for the 6th and 8th gen completely pale in comparison to what I have from the 5th and 7th gens.

I very much agree.  While I can find games I like in the even numbered generations, they very much adopt the "more of the same buy better" mentality.  The only exception is generation 2 (which first sold games separately from hardware; kind of a big deal).  Other than that though, the odd numbered generations take risks and innovate while the even ones make modest improvements on the last generation.  Games that take risks are exciting!
