Considering the earliest generation, I've spent a lot of time on is the 6th Generation (and not much before then in titles or especially on pre-6th Gen hardware) the 8th Generation of gaming is one of my favorites.
Yes, the growing DLC and microtransactions and such are a big problem. The 8th Generation gave us so many bangers. 3DS and PS4 were quite strong to me, especially PS4. And even Wii U, Xbox One and Vita have some games worth playing. If you count Switch as 8th Generation, it makes the gen even stronger.
I feel the 9th Generation is overhated (and it's not done yet), but I think it will end up being weaker than the 8th Generation.
