I initially chose 8th gen, not thinking this would include handhelds. But you know what? When you include handhelds thee 7th gen is pretty amazing.  In hindsight the 7th gen consoles worth owning were PS3/Wii/DS/PSP. In hindsight 8th Gen consoles worth owning were PS4/3DS.

During their heyday Wii U and 360 were also worth owning. But after years to look back, it's obvious that the PS3 was the better choice thanks to the RRoD issue effecting 50% of all 1st model 360's. As for Wii U, anybody with a Switch these days can see why it wasn't worth owning.
