This last generation was all over the place for me.
-I hated the Nintendo Wii. I still think the Wiimote is an awful controller. Functionally fine (once it got the motion plus), but I hated the gimmick. I bought it at launch after waiting in the cold car for a few hours, got Twilight Princess, and while I enjoyed it, to me it just wasn't very good control wise. It didn't get much better as I felt it didn't have alot of great games for awhile and eventually I sold it off to a friend with the 3 or 4 games I had on it. There are good games on the system, some I'm gonna be picking up now and playing properly, or that I missed, but it was a downer of a system. I still need to give some games a fair shake, like Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 I lightly played, but was rather underwhelmed by. I did love Skyward Sword, aside from minor issues, and while it played well, the whole time I just did not want to play with the wiimote controls. The whole time, it just felt like I would enjoy this more with a regular controller.
-The 360 was my next buy, but that didn't happen till Dead Rising came out. That was the system seller for me. I actually quite supported the 360 for awhile, was definitely pro-microsoft, but the past 3 or 4 years, it waned hard. There were still games I liked, but I disliked the XBL more and once I focused entirely on PC shooters over console ones, I had little reason to ever play the system online. I still have my 360 and the biggest reason I kept it, was that I'm collecting now, and it still has all of my Guitar Hero and Rock Band stuff on it. Lots and lots of music lol I only had one issue with the system, which was when my first one died a few years later with the disk drive, so I bought an arcade and I've had that for the past 4 years now I believe.
-The PS3 I didn't get into until the past 2 or 3 years. I had played the PS3 at my friends place, but I wasn't very impressed with its selection of games. Uncharted was a good series for the most part, MGS4 was good, a couple others here and there, The Last of Us funny enough, my last game I played on it, though I still have more to play, but I still don't play it a ton, it mostly just became a blu-ray player with minimal play. Exclusive wise, I didn't feel it was strong and kinda neither was the 360.
-The last console generation I think I got overwhelmed by the PC for me. Some of my straight up favorite games released during that time. Team Fortress 2, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, the STALKER series, the Metro series, these are forever favorites of mine. While I faded from 360, I grew in the PC. I have a huge selection of games on Steam and my most played games are there.
Overall, some great games came out in the last cycle, but the console cycle wasn't quite as good as I feel the last few were. With how much I ragged on Nintendo and their great selling console from last gen, I'm far more excited by the Wii U, which is sucking hard lol It still needs a proper 3D Mario game, a real good and adventurous one that isn't just rehashing what has been over-rehashed before, and of course it's proper new Zelda, which is taking forever to come out.
