7th gen mogs 6th gen easily, thread's over

Left, no contest.

6th gen was the peak of civilization

I used to think it was the 6th gen but in recent years I have changed my mind and now think 7th gen was better.

the gamecube was better than the wii, other than brawl i have no clue what people bought that for. that thing was a major dissapointment.

because 6th gen has the ds though it balances it out i guess.

>>716171649
>because 6th gen has the ds though
6th gen was the gba. DS and PSP are part of the 7th gen.

>>716171145 (OP)
PS2 and NGC vs DS and 360 is a hard call.

>>716171145 (OP)
Wii ruins that whole gen and makes it shit

I can't even think of 5 good games on the Wii.

>>716171145 (OP)
PS2 alone makes 6th gen better. But I almost want to give it to the 7th due to how pathetic and faggy the shitcube is

gen 7 is when everything went to shit

The best time culturally for gaming was the 360 gen. All the tv coverage and the E3 stuff and the midnight launches and whatnot.

The graphics step up was pretty big, seeing Gears of War for the first time, that gothic city was a wow moment. But PS2 has so many fucking classics and did amazing things with the hardware. Consoles going online is a watershed moment too which marks the beginning of the end of gaming, even if we had some good times with Halo 3. PC online was never catering to retards.

6th gen for consoles, 7th gen for handhelds because they could start doing what 6th gen consoles could.

>>716172442
the ds was more like a ps1/n64 tier machine. the psp was close enough to ps2ish tier games.

>>716171145 (OP)
the one that didnt do this ugly shit

>>716171145 (OP)
PS2 > PS3
Gamecube > Wii
360 > XBOX
PSP > GBA > DS

>>716172558
DS had some really great games, I got a huge amount of time from Ouendan, Chibi Robo, MK, Advance Wars. The PSP games just being usual games but portable didn't really appeal.

>>716172743
I basically got a PS3 for Wipeout HD, nothing else i played on it was worth it

>>716172743
>GBA > DS
Close, but no cigar. PSP is debatable too just because of how shit of a format UMDs were.

7th for handheld
6th for home
Next question

>>716172917
I bought mine well after its prime and honestly, when damn near every game was $20 or less the PS3 was actually pretty good. Very little on it worth full price though, that's for sure.

>>716172943
I bought the DS at launch but I just never liked it very much. Too much reliance on the touch gimmick.

>>716172743
>Gamecube > Wii
You cant say that when Mario Galaxy, Punch-Out, and Virtual Console exists

>>716173096
You still can

>>716173096
>and Virtual Console exists
That caters to literal subhuman retards who can't figure out how to run a SNES emulator.

Anon, I was emulating SNES games using ZSNES in the late 90's, when I was in middle school.

Should I hack my ps3 slim? Its one of the later models that can only use the HEN hack not the full one.

>>716172057
7th gen still had a lot of classics. Even its last years had great games like Mortal Kombat 9 and Gears of War 3.

>>716171145 (OP)
Left is childhood. Right is childhood's end.

>>716171145 (OP)
Handhelds ended up getting a lot of good vidya come to think of it

>>716173396
but the ps1 and n64 was my childhood

>>716173527
This. 7th gen was high school/college for me.

>>716173128
Yeah you can. GameCube had soul oozing out of it-F-Zero GX, RE4 before it got pimped out everywhere, Metroid Prime redefining how to do a first-person adventure, and it didn’t waggle at you like an idiot every 10 seconds. Wii had great games sure, but most of the library was shovelware or lazy ports with motion slapped on.

>>716171145 (OP)
PS2 >>> Power Gap >>> DS = PSP > X360 > Wii > GC > Xbox > GBA > Pisscast > PS3
The portables carried the 7th generation

>>716171145 (OP)
Right because the handled consoles and the Wii carry hard against the PS2 and gamecube

>>716172442
i disagree, 3d doesn't work well for handhelds
i liked the 3d consoles and 2d handhelds (with the rare 3d title) at the time

>>716172743
Name 1 good psp game.

>>716171145 (OP)
Specfags will reflexively say 7>6, cuz
>muh movie immersion
started around then
But gen 6 was the last generation I feel like ststems and games were made explicitly FOR GAMERS, with the added benefit of internet being a nifty tool for extra content, and not a tool reverse engineered to trap and bleed dry consoomers (casuals AND "gamers")

>>716174794
>3d doesn't work well for handhelds
Maybe it's because I'm a lifelong fan of handhelds but I have never had this thought cross my mind.

>>716172743
>Gamecube > Wii
Nigga, the Wii is literally a beefier GC. That's like saying the PS4 is better than the PS4 pro.

>>716171145 (OP)
Ps2 > ps3 > ds > gcn > gba > dc > psp > og xbox > wii > 360

Id give the edge to 6th gen just because of the ps2

>>716175982
This. I'm not big on handheld, but as long as it's the right team developing it, 3d can absolutely work well on handheld. I believe it's when handheld tries to be console-power big and epic, with little to no system optimization, THAT'S where problems are likely to start/ be noticed
>>716176007
Power isn't everything. The wii was what opened the floodgates, empowering normies and casuals to latch on to gaming, and stick around. ≥95% of wii's library is shovelware at best, and if you five a fuck about gameplay performance, motion controls suck dick, and are just there to draw in adhd kids and immersionfags
Gamecube started metroid prime, gave us a absolute gold standard of what a remake should be with resident evil 1, had link in a 3rd party fighter, and was the last system for f-zero until nintendo started dangling scraps in front of fans in mk8, and with it's predatory nso

>>716171145 (OP)
I think on an objective level gen 7 had better games, but mostly by virtue of volume + variety. Gen 6 had 3 of the companies involved struggling heavily, and it was basically just ps2's great library, halo and whatever else people pretend was good on the xbox, and nintendo trying hard to recapture what they had before, to mixed success. The DS, Wii, PS3, and PSP were complete gold from start to end, and while that can be said of the PS2 as well, it is literally 4x the consoles pulling weight.
To expand on it, 7th gen was almost universally backwards compatible. Not entirely, true, but most of gen 6 was attainable, and even actively promoted, during gen 7. It isn't a fair comparison but it is true.
I totally get why people would prefer the time period of gen 6 when gaming wasn't infested with dudebros and it hadn't hit mtx or true AAA bloat, but I do believe that on an objective level, ds > gba, ps3 > ps2, 360 > og, wii > gc, plus PSP, and dc wasn't even around for long enough to make a difference, sadly. Also somehow dpads were so bad in gen 6 for some reason, and they got mostly fixed with gen 7, weird.
Bonus, indie games slowly started trickling in in gen 7, whereas beforehand you had, like, alien hominid and... I'm sure some other examples but I can't think of them off the top of my head.
Gen 7 wins it, imo.

>>716176150
ps2 was backwards compatible with psx
gba was backwards compatible with gb and gbc
i consider 6th gen consoles' libraries to also consists of all compatible games from previous gens
i think that makes 6th gen's library completely unassailable

>>716171145 (OP)
PS2>PS3
XB≥360
GC>>>Wii
Dreamcast is a point for 6th gen/ against 7th gen
DS≥PSP>GBA

>gc>wii
the wii is literally the gamecube but with more features you dumbass niggers

>>716171145 (OP)
PS2>360>Everything Else

>>716176843
going by libraries, gamecube is better

DS is a 6th gen console
PSP and PS3 are both dogshit
PS2 is the best console ever made
GameCube>>>>>Pii
360>>Xbox
DS,GBA>>>>>>>>>>>PSP

6th gen is gaming's peak, 7th gen is 15fps cinematic paid online third person shooters

>>716176843
You gotta look at the whole package, and ignore backwards compatibility, at the very least to differentiate between philosophies of the systems themselves
As seen here >>716176884 and >>716176540

>>716177043
the ds came out within the same 12 month period as the xbox 360

>>716177043
>DS is a 6th gen console
lol no

>>716177345
>and ignore backwards compatibility
that was a key selling point for the ps2 and gba

>>716173392
>7th gen still had a lot of classics.
This doesn't exclude >>716172057 anon.
7th gen objectively enshittified gaming with microtransactions, cockblocked online etc

>>716171989
>Wii is better by 7th gen standards than GameCube is by 6th gen's
Anon, I...

the only good games from 7th gen were dead rising, saints row1-2, and a few first partys on the wii which all ironically feel more like 6th gen games

>>716177452
I was a gcfag that gen, and I can tell you that although backwards compatibility was a perk, it was far from a key selling point for either
PS2 brought R&C, J&D, GoW, ffx, katanari damaci, tons of great 3rd party stuff that were multiplat for that particular generation, and more
GBA had rse/frlg, golden sun, some of the best fe, lots of great snes ports allowing portable play for the first time for them, and with the gba sp, the first rechargeable backlit handheld
Those systems were way more than just backwards compatibility. Don't get me wrong, I see no reason why backwards compatibility should ever not be available, but if that's a system's major selling point as a crutch, like currently every modern console, THAT'S when it's a problem

PSP and DS > PS2

>>716177493
Don't forget the opening of the Pandora's box of specfaggotry and enabling and actively seeking casuals over those that made the industry what it was until that point

>>716178836
>those that made the industry what it was until that point
Children?

>>716171145 (OP)
6th gen fucking SUCKED, it was just Playstation on top and everyone else in the gutter. Just call it the PS2 generation

if old games are so good, why aren't you playing them right now?

>>716181196
Yes and no. It's like when a book or show gets a movie, and the moment you read or hear someone say something to the effect of "for fans and newcomers alike", that means it's 93% lowest common denominator soulless hollywood generic garbage, and 7% references, characters and lore from the source material, entirely taking for granted fan's financial participation

youtube is a piece of shit yet still the only platform that has any good content that isn't just angry anons spamming dumb shit that ruins your brain.

>>716181350
Who says I'm not? Sonic gems collection is hitting good. Later on I might restart tales of symphonia or soul calibur 2

>>716171145 (OP)
6th gen and I do not even have to think on this. Yeah there is a lot of 7th gen games I like but same for 6th gen and gaming was in a much better condition in that gen. 7th gen was the beginning of the end of gaming.

>>716181560
Like when I read the news, I see dumb random anons as the equivalent as a news articles's emotional bloat. I've learned to ignore bullshit/ read between the lines, but still exercise skepticism when necessary

>>716176739
Were that the case that means the 7th gen can count all the 6th gen games as their since they also backwards compatible. In that case, the 7th gen wins, by a landslide.

>>716181876
See >>716178707
Same goes for wii, which I think another anon made a similar case for
