7th gen gets my vote too.
I liked the Wii more than the Wii U, the PS3 more than the PS4, and the 360 more than the Xbone.
8th gen had some great games, but the sheer amount of classics on 7th gen was enormous; the Bioshock, Mass Effect, Uncharted, and Gears of War trilogies, Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Xenoblade Chronicles, Bayonetta, Vanquish, Dead Space, Metroid Prime 3, Portal 1 and 2, Skyrim, The Last Story, Zelda Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, Puppeteer, Dishonoured, Halo 3/4/Reach, Alan Wake...
7th gen also predated a lot of negative trends in modern gaming like aggressive monetization and 5+ year dev cycles.
