Best Gaming Console Generations

The Top Ten
1 6th generation - PlayStation 2, Xbox

It was such a great time period for gaming. Every game you would pick up would be unique and different, unlike games of today where they often blend in with each other. It offered a feel that no other console generation can match, and it was also the birth of online gaming, and introduced many people to gaming as a whole.

Great Games: Halo CE and 2, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Timesplitters, Tony Hawk's (Insert Thing Here), Ratchet & Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper, Blinx, Metroid Prime, Spider-Man 2, Crash Twinsanity, Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, Mario Sunshine, DBZ Budokai and Tenkaichi, etc.

The 6th generation of video games is the best.i'm gonna get all 4 home consoles for that generation
1999:Sega Dreamcast

Xbox 1 WILL BE THE BEST

4 9th generation - Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5
5 5th generation - Nintendo 64, PlayStation

And the sega saturn

6 4th generation - Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis
7 3rd generation - NES, Sega Master System, Atari 7800
8 1st generation - Magnavox Odyssey, Atari Pong

This is the most important in my mind, as the dawn of video games set the framework for what would come.
Also, something else I did-I attempted to put each "generation" into a more digestible format, by year. Here's the results, for those who want a different look at it:
1st generation: 1972-1977
2nd generation: 1978-1983
3rd generation: 1984-1987
4th generation: 1988-1991
5th generation: 1992-1996
6th generation: 1997-2001
7th generation: 2002-2006
8th generation: 2006-present
Note that this does not take into account even older attempts at video games, dating back to at least 1950, or the supposed 8.5th generation, which is lumped in with the 8th.

9 2nd Generation - Atari 2600, Intellivision, Colecovision
