Gonna have to go with 7th gen.
There was an excitement in the early years of that generation that I don't think has been recaptured since. The DS and PSP were doing things no handheld had done before. The PS3 and 360 were the first true HD consoles and the games seemed photo-realistic, while the Wii's motion controls seemed totally new and revolutionary. The shine started to fade on all of that by the end of 2008, but that 2-year period from the end of 2006 till then was something I don't think we'll ever see again in this industry,
