I was lurking on here for 4-5 years before I created an account in 2020 so I didn't experience the peak back in the 7th generation but for me 2017-2020 was a really nice stretch with the Switch's insane peak year and in general doing better than almost anyone expected and the lead up to the launch of the PS5 and Xbox Series. There was a lot of interesting discussion and debate to be had compared to how comparatively dull sales discussion has become lately. Even 2021-2022 was a lot more interesting with the shortages making the long term picture of the PS5 and Xbox Series somewhat murky. The lowball PS5 predictions were of course ridiculous but at least there was still more varied opinion where as currently things are quite set in stone console sales wise.
