People are blinded. There has never been a time in gaming (even with the shitty aspects) than right now and that makes 8th gen the better gen simply because it's newer, instead People see through rose tented glasses what's essentially inferior. This reminds me of people who keep saying there are no games to play, ffs like, there literally has never been more new games to play, the problem is there are TOO many new games.

I would disagree with the notion that newer inherently means better.

By that logic, every modern game would be better than every old game, yet I'd contend that something like Super Mario World, Metroid Prime, or RE4 2005 wipes the floor with the majority of modern games. 

There are valid reasons for someone to prefer the 7th gen over the 8th; perhaps the new IPs of the 7th resonated with them more, perhaps their favourite developers or franchises were better in the 7th, perhaps they strongly dislike certain trends that were popular in the 8th, etc.

Really depends what your looking for in games. As  gamers we have gotten way more skilled then before for example last time I played resident evil 4  which was my favorite game of all time. I almost fell asleep because how it easy it was and I was playing on hard mode. Compared to the remake which is much more challenging and fun to me now on hardcore mode. Same for Mario World it's a cake walk for anyone playing mario games since nes, it has to have the right balance of challenge, and using strategy and exploration for me to think the game is great.
