The overwhelming majority seem to be picking 6th>5th>7th>Xth (variable)

Seems like the Era of PS2, Gamecube and Xbox were very fond memories indeed.

Why do you separate the 7th gen in halves? A gen is a gen.

For me 6>7>5.

I don't remember anything pre-PlayStation and the 8th gen is too young to judge.

lol I know.. But whatever. Even though it's one gen, the first and second halves were so radically different that i realize it's hard to place it somewhere in comparison to the others. In 2008, I felt like 7th gen far surpassed the 6th, but now that the generation is over, i might actually like the 6th gen better. So that shows you how I feel about the two halves.

8th (This will most likely change as it has only just started. It's way too early to judge.)

4th
3rd
2nd
1st

So you basically think that gaming kept getting better and better until the 7th gen? That's pretty cool. I think it peaked during 4th

I honestly am shocked at how many people picked 6th. I really thought 4th and 5th were going to be the real juggernauts here

#1 - 7th/3rd (tie)
#2 - 5th
#3 - 4th
#4 - 6th

My favorite gen is kinda based on how much I gamed in that gen. This last gen (7th) and my first gen (3rd) is when I've gamed the most, and I lost almost all interest in gaming during the 6th gen and kinda skipped the 4th by and large.

I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

Gen 8 is too young and I wasn't around / old enough to care about the first 3.

I'm telling you man, might as well submit to our new zombie overlords.

I don't think they can make better games than you can do, so I'll never surrender to them! WAR.

Oh, dude, you haven't lived! If you have any interest in retro-gaming, you should absolutely revisit the 4th gen. That's where the best games were, IMHO.

From my experience:

1st. 4th Generation

2nd. 3rd Generation

3rd. 5th Generation

4th. 6th Generation

5th. 7th Generation

6th. 8th Generation

1st and 2nd Generations (Magnavox Odyssey, Atari 2600, Colleco Intellvision etc.) I never experienced so I can't really rank them in this list.
