Best Video Game Console Generations

Which generation of video game consoles do you think was the best/most significant?
The Top Ten
1 6th Gen (Playstation 2, Gamecube, Xbox, Dreamcast)

I grew up with this generation of consoles but not because I was alive then, my dad had an old Xbox he let me use.

Definitely the Best!, So Many Gamecube Games, So Many PS2 Games, And Great Xbox And Dreamcast Games

2 7th Gen (Wii, Xbox 360, Playstation 3)

The gen I grew up with the most.

Wii was the best!

Great Consoles

3 8th Gen (Wii U, Xbox One, Playstation 4)
4 4th Gen (Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Turbografx-16)
5 5th Gen (Playstation, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn)

True 3D graphics for the first time, but still left enough to your imagination to create your own narrative as you played. Also, this was the tipping generation before games went to the "I Win!" mode they all have now. Walk into a barrage of bullets? No Problem! Just stand back up and keep going! Not in this generation. At the very least, re-do the level. Also, with such obvious differences between the systems, there was much to be discussed. Now there's very little, and almost no exclusives. ~X8

6 3rd Gen (NES, Sega Master System, Atari 7800)
7 2nd Gen (Atari 2600, Intellivision, Odyssey 2)
8 1st Gen (Magnavox Odyssey, Atari Pong, Telstar)
9 9th Gen (PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S)
