Best current system is easily the Switch.

Generation 8 was the worst time period for gaming since the Console Market Crash in the 80s.  Every single system, Wii U/XB1/PS4/3DS/Vita, was a massive disappointment.  The PS4 was merely the least crappy system out of 5 crappy systems.  I definitely had a hard time finding games that I wanted to play during this "Generation of Suck".

Then the Switch comes along, and it's like an Oasis to a guy who is about to die of thirst in the desert.  Breath of the Wild is the Zelda game I waited 25 years for, and that began a new great era for games.  The NES is the system that I've ever owned the most games for, but at the rate I'm buying games I might end up with more on the Switch.  Switch is my favorite system after the NES, and come to think of it, both came after huge dry spells in gaming.  Perhaps I appreciate these systems more because of the dry spell.

Seems you're looking at this a bit too subjective - PS4 offered pretty descent hardware, VR and quite big library of good games, both 1st and 3rd party (though, admittedly, I don't like most of Sony's 1st party offerings). For me BotW was most dissapointing 3D Zelda (apart from MM), but I can't really give negative points to Switch for that.

As for 8th gen - really depends what games you like. Personally, given that CRPG renaissance happened, I'm more than happy with it.
