The 7th gen gets my vote; it felt more fresh, more exciting, like there constantly new barriers being broken in terms of games showing us new possibilities we'd never experienced before.

Gen 8 did have some great games; Witcher 3, Hellblade, Doom 2016 & Eternal, BOTW, and Bayonetta 2 for example.

But for me Gen 7 just dwarves it; we got Bioshock 1/2/Infinite, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Uncharted 1-3, Mass Effect 1-3, Halo 3/4/Reach, Gears of War 1-3, Xenoblade Chronicles, Zelda Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime 3, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Witcher 2, Skyrim, Portal 1 & 2, Dead Space... the list just goes on and on.
