What generation do you feel progressed the most from its beginning to its end?

How the hell can you vote gen 7?

Megadrive started with Altered Beast and ended with Virtua Racer and Virtua Fighter.
SNES started with Super Mario World/F-Zero/Pilot Wings and ended with Starfox and Stunt Race FX and also got a port of Doom.

That is a generation that went from sprites to full polygonal 3D and an FPS within the generation.

People here voting PS3/Xbox360/Wii generation must be too young to have experienced earlier generations.

I would dare to say that especially the PS1 had a larger evolution during its lifetime than PS3.

EDIT:// this is the first thread in this forum that makes me genuinely upset because so many are objectively wrong on this topic

A bit too aggressive, but that's how I feel too, specially since I feel like gen 7 is exactly where we started getting diminishing returns. I think that every generation that came before had a bigger jump from start to finish than gen 7. Well, maybe not the first two gens, they went from like, Pong to what, Space Invaders?

Diminishing returns I feel didn't begin to creep in til the 8th gen, (which was still a sizeable upgrade regardless) as going from even the best looking 6th gen games to something like Uncharted or Gears of War was still a massive jump.

It's the current gen where diminishing returns really kicked in in force IMO, to the point where the best looking PS4/XBO games still look great today even almost 6 years into the next generation.
