PS2-PS3. Wide-screen became standard for all games, and at 16x9 resolution. Worlds became bigger, and it redefined story-based games. So much so that a large chunk of them got re-released for PS4. GTAV also released on PS3, and we're seeing GTAV again on PS5.

Not only that, PS3 was backwards compatible with PS2, and PS1 games, and had compatibility for others, like PSP Minis, and some Neo Geo games also got supported. PS2 gave us Jak 2, which isn't emulated properly on PS3, and PS3 gave us Beyond: Two Souls. Different game types, but Beyond never would have been possible on PS2, and not only is it on PS3, it's also on PS4, and PC. As well as Flower, and Journey. So many games in the PS3's library transcends the PS3's generation. It happened too with Dreamcast, with games like Marvel Vs. Capcom 2, and Soul Calibur, but overall, PS3 is still better than the dreamcast, as the PS3 is a multi-media device built for 16x9 resolutions, and the PS2 was the worst of the generation. It could be argued that the Saturn was actually better than the PS1 on paper, but the full potential of the console was never tapped into. Especially if you look at some multi-plats, like Mega Man 8, Marvel Vs. Street Fighter, and X-Men Vs. Street Fighter, which were all better on Saturn, not PS1.
