1. I'm confused. Your premise as to whether new gen games can be labelled as great seems to be whether they can run on last gen hardware only with lower resolution, less fps and poorer graphics. So out of the 53 released games that I listed you only think Bayonetta 2, Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Bros. U and The Wonderful 101 qualify as great games. Please tell me you realise how subjective that claim is. Why exactly these 4 games? Why don't you think these 4 games can run on last gen hardware in some form?

That's not what I said at all.  I took out any titles that actually are crossgen, or remasters, regardless of the quality of the game.  The list I gave is what you have left after doing that.  After that, those happen to be the games I think qualify as great.  That's just my two cents, take it or leave it.  And those games absolutely can run on next gen hardware, but again that's not the point I was making.

To simplify things, forget about the bolded titles.  That list is what's left when you take out crossgen.

2. Why do people even buy a new console if they don't think it's worth its price yet. Excuse me but I think that's really stupid. And why do they feel the need to complain all the time instead of just wait buying until there are more unique games available and let other people enjoy gaming. I never understood some people's need to shove their own opinion down other people's throat.

Because some people write for gaming websites and it's their job to write their opinions about the gaming industry?  Who is shoving anything down anyone's throat here?  When you give your opinion, are you shoving it down people's throats?  Or is it only shoving your opinion down people's throats when it's an opposing viewpoint?

People like sharing their opinions, positive or negative.  That's why we have things like... you know, message forums.  If you don't agree, you have the choice to step away from your computer, and do whatever it is you'd rather do.  I am not shoving anything down your throat.  You are free to not respond and move on with your life.  I swear, I won't come to your house and beat you till you agree with me.

3. I don't see why a gimmick like the Wii mote should decide whether a new gen game can be great or not. I simply don't agree. If people enjoy e.g. Shadow of Mordor on their PS4 I don't think you can dictate that it isn't a great game experience just because it runs on last gen consoles as well and doesn't need a new controller gimmick. Besides the DS4 really adds to the experience in many games in a way that DS3 can't.

I don't see where I said Wii Sports was great. This passage in no way relates to what I said, so I'm going to ignore it.  This is either an attempt at a straw man argument, or simply poor reading comprehension.

4. I've already had moments where I really felt the unique experiences new gen consoles can offer and I can reassure you more of these new experiences unique to new gen consoles will come down the road. Resistance: Fall of Man wasn't that giant leap over the PS2 compared with later PS3 and Xbox 360 games. If you ever expected going from PS3 to PS4 would be as big as going from PS1 to PS2 I think you were quite naive. Consoles sell because of their low price and great accessibility. You can't expect a PS1 to PS2 like evolution from a $399 console. Maybe consoles just aren't your thing.

Consoles are certainly my thing, because in the past, each console has offered new styles of gameplay and new styles of games.  The new generation of consoles isn't my thing, because they do not offer anything to me beyond mild to moderate visual enhancements.  If that changes down the line, I'll happily change my opinion.

I'm pretty sure the Gamespot guy already knew this but because PC gaming is dying again and has less exclusives and attention that there was no obvious need to mention them.

What do you earn by bashing gaming anyway?, you throw all your stones and you hit nothing because you're hitting no targets, not ones that would pay attention to you anyway.

He could also say AAA

When you take out crossgen titles, the list gets a lot smaller.  And I'd argue that not all of those games are "great".  Personally, I only think the bolded ones meet that standard.

The reason crossgen titles don't count is because in general, there is absolutely no difference in crossgen titles besides resolution and some special effects, which many people don't find worth 400 dollars.

Before, new consoles meant new experiences you simply couldn't have on older systems.  You couldn't play Wii Sports without the Wii's controls.  Dead Rising simply produced too many characters for the XBox to hold (see the Wii version).  FZero wouldn't be playble on the NES, except in a severely compromised form.  Final Fantasy 7 was too large for disc based systems.  Sonic the Hedgehog would have been terrible on the Master System (and it was).  Shenmue was far too large for the Saturn to handle.

New consoles should mean new experiences.  The whole point is to play something you couldn't have on an older system.  Going from the PS1 to PS2 was like going from a Nokia flip phone to a Droid.  Going from the PS3 to the PS4 is like going from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 5s.

So, the problem is that the previous generation consoles are still powerful enough to handle current gen games?
