Goodbye Gen 7, the console gen of my childhood.

A hell of a fight between PS4 and NSW. Nice.

Honestly, the Xbox One is a lemon. It's been established in the eyes of the consumer as a loser since day 1 and at this point  it's too late to turn it around. Third place is practically a certainty.  The best they can do at this stage is regroup for the next gen and make sure they don't repeat the same mistakes.

I'm pretty sure it's gonna finish second place, when you consider that its competitors are actually the PS4 and the Wii U.

Depends on which generation the Switch is.  It’s not exactly a 4k beast, or even as powerful as the PS4.  It also released around the time of 8th gen half-steps, so I’d consider it Nintendo’s 2nd shot at the 8th gen.



Gens are arbitrary. We have hardware coming out at different times and power obviously doesn't matter.



3DS is the little handheld that could. It keeps chugging along. Choo Choo.

Agreed, it’s an outdated and misused concept. Some generations (1 and 2) were fabricated in retrospect and make no sense, like they were completely tossed together in a whim.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Good win for Switch, watch your back or PS4 will give a stab. And on X1 it really should be up YOY since X1X is still new in the game and (price is lower?)

Wouldn't it be the opposite? The PS4 is the current king being overthrown. The Switch is killing it, not the other way around.

And the speed at which Switch will pass it is astounding. Very soon we will be already betting on when it'll happen.

Farewell gen 7...and Wii U.
