Forums - Gaming Discussion - What is your favorite console per generation?

Generation 3: NES
Generation 4: SNES
Generation 5: Nintendo 64
Generation 6: PlayStation 2
Generation 7: PlayStation 3
Generation 8: I'm torn between Switch and PS4. And I also love Game Pass, so it's a perfect generation all around.

Maybe I phrased it wrong. I like the fact that people weren't just loyal to a single company rather they just played what they wanted to play regardless of manufacturer. I buy every console myself (though I understand that's not always an option). I'm just praising the fact that many of us have open minds.

*sniffs* Your words hurt me... deep in my chest.

That's the same feeling the Grinch felt when his "heart grew 3 sizes that day". I suspect we're going to have a kinder, gentler Rol from this day forward!

I didn't own any systems in gen 5 or 8 (unless you count Switch, which I don't), so those choices are based on limited time at friend's homes. Like d21lewis noted, I never went with the same brand from gen to gen, but keep going back and forth with Nintendo.

I game.  You game.  We game.

I'm a videogamer, not a fanboy, but have a special place for Nintendo.
