Did anyone else feel that the PS3/360/Wii gen came and went pretty quick?

[Chicano3000 119]

I guess I didn't game much at the time. But it felt like a short gen. What were the best games graphically at the time IYO?

Do you think games from that gen still look amazing?

I remember playing Strike Cur 2 for PS3.

Quite the opposite. It dragged on for years.

[Playstation Tablet 1,725]

It was the longest gen ever. 2005 to 2013.

 

That's 8 years. It was way too damn long and we didn't have Pro models for these consoles.

 

 

But yes games aged very well we can see that with 4K remasters.

It's not that it came and went too quickly, it's just that the PS3rd and Wii sucked major ass and Xbox 360 was the only console worth playing

360 had no games (my opinion)

For real. Xbox had one or two great years and then it fell flat. The system is overrated af 

[Playstation Tablet 1,725]

360 was good only till PS3 picked up in 2009. After it sucked.

[Chicano3000 119]

I do playing 360 for a good minute. Halo, Gears of War, Mass Effect series, GTAV, CoD games, Forza, Crackdown, Bioshock and Burger King: The Game.
But  when I got a PS3, I started playing most of the multiplats on that. 360 took a back seat. Especially after getting the RRoD(to be fair, eventually my PS3 got the YLoD).

 

This gen it doesn't seem like XB1 has anything. My brother got it for Forza(it even makes an engine start sound when you boot it up). But now it's neglected...

Fun fact:  We had a wii, but it blew a fuse because I dad didn't turn it off  after using it to watch netflix all the time. So it stayed on for days.. Miss that console..

And nothing will ever match Wii's epic decline or Wii U's epic failure.

I hired someone today but he already left. He was so quick to quit.

LOL you needed to combine events over two console gens to make yourself feel better.

 

Its ok.

 

Wii's epic decline..........well, that's a nice way of saying that the Wii absolutely whooped the everyloving shit out of the competition by December 2009 NPD's sales (which still remain the record for most console sales in one month) that nobody could catch up at that point.

 

And we got SMG1 and SMG2, the defacto best games of that console gen (Metacritic). We're good here.

Epic decline, epic failure. The Nintendo way.

You should put “Hiring Quitters” on your ad...

Not even the Xbox 360 fell that fast.

Meanwhile PS3 was struggling fighting to stay out of last place 

[Playstation Tablet 1,725]

Kinect sold 28 million I think. If not for it PS3 would easily outdo the 360 by 10+ million. PS3 has got to be the greatest comeback alongside the DS Lite in gaming history.
