Out of all the generations of gaming, which do you think was the most competitive and intensely populated the most memorable classics that were in direct competition with one another causing a lucrative and fun community?
For me it was the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii (DS, PSP) generation.
The madness was so amazing back than and PS3 and 360 and Wii in terms of sales and quality were so highly contested for different titles and really duked it out for a while there. Somehow Wii won in sales but consensus say PS3 and 360 were the two powerhouses of the gen. Xbox vs PS2 was a clear win for PS2 in most eyes but last gen was truly two heavyweights leaving it all in the ring. Both put so much effort and so much depth to their library. But with games like Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Punchout Wii, Mario Kart Wii, Kirby's epic yarn and than all the countless PS3 first party classics, RPG depth, PS2 remakes. Bioshock came out this gen. All 3 of them. Gears of war came out this gen. Halo came with 3-4 strong titles as did god of war. Forza and Gran Turismo contesting one another. And it was just so amazing to be alive and witness it. The gen lasted a good 10 years as well.

Than with handhelds PSP vs DS and Later DI and Ds Lite was truly incredible. Although it was early in the gen and later on Vita and 3DS happened. I like to say PSP vs DS is still the handeheld debate of the gen. And that was every bit as competitive. PSP was amazing and DS was innovative and iconic. Truly hard to pick winners in this gen. and that's why I think it was so good
