My answer is the same as it was in the Nintendo thread and for similar reasons. The industry in general just wasn’t as interesting for much of the 2010s whereas I loved gaming in the 2000s. We’re basically comparing these systems / libraries:
DC
PS2
GBA
GCN
XB
X360
PS3
Wii
DS
PSP
vs these:
3DS
WiiU
Vita
PS4/Pro
XB1/X
Switch
Great games spilled over into both decades from older systems like Majora’s Mask or The Last of Us so it’s a wash there. But there’s just no comparing these two eras for me. Despite the launch of the Switch and some absolute gems in the 2010s like Galaxy 2, Breath of the Wild and Odyssey, the 2000s still win quite handily.
