I have no idea what you're asking, or even if you're asking something.

Well the question is "what do you think." However the lack of a question mark raises questions on the exact nature of that particular sentence and may even indicate that this is in fact not a question but a statement. So, uh, yes.

He means what consoles are the best in each generation.

I'll give it a go -

Generation 1 I do not know enough about most of these, however, from the two I do know about (Magnavox Odyssey and that Pong console they list), I'll choose the Odyssey since it has Pong on it anyways, and it's an interesting collection of toys to substitute for the rest of the code they couldn't even write for the thing. Of course, it would have to come with every accessory made for it including that bigass gun, otherwise it's just some knobs and lights. It'd still have pong on it, anyways, so I'll just immediately contradict myself and say that it can come without anyways. But all the overlays and boards and whatnot would still be cool.

Generation 2 I once had a folder full of every Atari 2600 game developed, so I'll choose that. I really should seek out these systems to be able to write better crap than this.

Generation 3 I could be really uninteresting and say NES since I have that, but I imagine a Commodore 64 or Sega Master System are of the same level. I was still really uninteresting.

Generation 4 SNES or Sega Genesis, just like people argued back then, and still do today. So, keep doing it in this thread too. Have SNES, but I do not have Genesis. Does this count? I certainly don't have more SNES games than this collection contains. So... I dunno.

Fifth Generation Playstation. That is all.

Sixth Generation Playstation 2. That is all.

Seventh Generation The duck is a Zeebo? And... Wii or PS3. I never had a 360, never want to have one since I know the stories about how ducking terrible the hardware is and how bullshit Xbox live is (basically paying twice for your internet)...so.

Eighth Generation Wii U. The other two will have most of their library on PC too, probably. Useless.

Edit: Why the hell did I go from listing Gen <x> to <x> Generation? Hmmm

With the amount of games being produced today, if you can't find anything you like you aren't looking hard enough. If I look at how many games I could buy in the local toy store a decade ago and compare it to what's for sale on Steam nowadays the difference is enormous. And prices definitely haven't gone up either.

Don't know about that. Just looked through a list of every game released and about to be realeased this year. Really, there's only about three games I'll even bother to mention. The rest of it is indeed pretty awful.

There's Banished. It looked to be good, so I downloaded it for free, but after about two days it just kinda fell flat. Then there's Oddworld: New 'n' Tasty!, which is a nice throwback but mostly just a rape of the original masterpiece. Lastly, there's Among the Sleep. I watched a playthrough of it, and as a game it looks to suck quite hard, but it proves that video games can be a form for amazing art.
