Sixth, probably not even close to any other gen. It started with the Dreamcast, which was an amazing console, incredible leap in power over what was most popular at the time, PSone. Arcades were still very strong back then and this was the first time we could have arcade perfect ports of games right in our homes. It was incredible. It also ushered in mainstream online gaming right out of the box with the included modem. Probably my all time favorite console, so many amazing games in such a short time.
Then of course you had the PS2, arguably the best console ever by many peoples standards. I was all about DC so it took me awhile to jump in, especially since PS2 had no online play or even an online adapter out of the box but it didn't take long after launch. Had a great lineup of games. Many many third party masterpieces. Also had SOCOM II, probably my all time favorite online game. Nintendo had the GCN, the only Nintendo console I never owned. But I played it plenty, there were great games on it. Never cared for MK DD but Smash, Wind Waker, Paper Mario, Viewtiful Joe, F-Zero, Luigi's Mansion, Rogue Squadron, etc. Lastly there was the OG Xbox which revolutionized gaming with XBL and launched with Halo, which was mind blowing at the time to be experiencing such a masterpiece on a console. Many great games like Rallisport Challenge, Crimson Skies, versions of Rainbow Six and Splinter Cell that looked and played a generation ahead of the PS2 versions, KOTOR, PGR, MechAssault, Riddick, etc.
Only gen that might come close is fifth.
