Now that the dust has settled, was this the worst console generation in history?

>>712984736 (OP)
For Xbox and PS, sure. Nintendo made better games than ever and obviously sold a ton. They've fixed the marketing. It's not wii u cringe anymore and the name Switch is great.

only a coping pclard incel would say this

>coping pclard incel
All good Xbox and PlayStation games are on PC. I can emulate any console up to 8th gen. I can emulate just about any Switch game.

>>712984736 (OP)
hard to swallow pills is that the only good console gen is the one you grew up in you nigger

>>712984806
Yeah there were so many good games like super smash brothers 5 and shin megami tensei 5 and...................
wii sports 3?
3 good games in ten years

>>712984736 (OP)
xbox was the worst
at least you can play third party games on playstation that don't run or aren't available on switch
>inb4 pcjeet cope
show me a $500 pc that can play games with the same graphical settings as a ps5

>>712984736 (OP)
Yes
All of the scummy tactics that people pushed back agaisnt in the previous generation are now here and normal

>>712984806
The switch was good until you were forced to download updates for games you physically own before you can play them. It is now ewaste.

Like what?

>>712984736 (OP)
Have we now ultimately decided that Switch is 9th gen?

>>712985029
I think it's the Switch OLED

>>712985009
Always online
Digital only (still optional for now)
Physical media which is only a game key
No split screen
DLC and Microtransactions for every major title
Unfinished and broken releases
Controllers made with poor quality parts and designed to fail
Subscriptions for any online features

>>712984870
your pc games, bro

>>712985168
those + every good PS5, Xbox game and Switch game via emulators. Coping console peasant.

Sony already did this with the PS4 and got away with it. It was the reason I went for PC and abandoned PlayStation.

worst since the 64 bit era onwards maybe, ain't no one would rather play atari 2600 over ps5

>>712985168
A modern PC can still play every PC game ever released. Consoles are lucky to be backwards compatable by just one generation. Why are you showing 4 shovelware slop games and thinking this is a gotcha?

>>712984736 (OP)
Games taking a whole decade to develop is what's going to cause the inevitable collapse. These consoles have been around for 5 years now and barely have anything games because faggot ass devs think they're building spacestations or some shit. I mean even look at Rockstar, these faggots have taken over a decade to put one fucking game. Slop like Ragnarok taking 4 fucking years to make so you only get ONE GOW game in the entire console generation....modern games are a fucking joke. You can't even blame poorfags and 3rd worlders for pirating and stealing games when this these are the results.

Gens are obsolete now

Xbox has become "this is an Xbox"
Switch has just made the screen bigger and Stricter DRM
PS5 Pro is just a framerate boost

There is no 10th gen, just 9th gen with framerate bumps

>>712985341
Yeah, that’s fair. At least the PS1/N64 era had janky charm and devs experimenting with every genre. This gen was just copy-paste open worlds with 5 different currencies, battle passes, and live service slop pretending to be AAA prestige. Even the console UIs are soulless. I'd take blurry ass GoldenEye on a CRT over another bloated 120GB co-op shooter with no offline mode.

>>712984806
Switch's library honestly carried the gen, even if the hardware was barely holding together by the end. You can meme about SMT5 and Smash, but there's also Metroid Dread, Tears of the Kingdom, Xenoblade 3, and even the 2D Marios and Pikmin 4 doing well. Meanwhile PS5 and Xbox were just playing musical chairs with live service corpses and remakes of better games. At least Nintendo still knows how to make a damn video game.

>>712984806
Probably closest they’ve come to recreating their NES era other than the lack of aaa support.
>basically zero competition from other consoles
>huge, varied library
>all of the heavy hitter IPs get 10/10 games that will define their respective franchises for decades
It’s been a great couple years for tendies no doubt

>>712984736 (OP)
8th and 9th tied for bad

>>712985168
ngl, wouldn't mind having bottom right on xbox.
