>PS3 and 360 seems like the last time a console was doing things their predecessors couldn’t
One thing I think people here never consider is the screenshot/record function modern consoles have. Consoles didn't have that prior to PS4 and Xbox One (or they did in a limited capacity that was very rarely used).
Unfortunately as a feature it constantly gets mischaracterized as a "looool it's a facebook button" thing but I sincerely think the standardization of the ability to screenshot and record gameplay on consoles without even considering streaming. It allows people to record meaningful moments to them. If you found something ultra rare or special in a game, you can record it. If you beat some super special challenge or time trial, you can record it or screenshot your score/victory screen.
I loved shiny hunting in Pokemon as a kid and you had to take photos of your screen for that shit if you even had a camera available. Now you can get clean direct screenshots of it if you want and I love that.
