What's The Best Generation of Gaming as of now?

I have to give it to the Saturn, Psone and N64 era hands down!  I think that was the 6th generation of gaming I'm not sure, but it has to be the best generation of gaming to date.

• CD format was introduced(Big Change)
• CD playback was included in the psone and Saturn
• Sony jumped into the video gaming industry(Big Change)
• Nintendo got owned by Sony!  Lol Sony strikes back!!!  For those that don't know Sony took the spot as conosle leader in sales from the all mighty Nintendo, after the whole Sony and Nintendo feud with the Snes.
• The analog stick was introduced(Big Change)
• Sony later included two analog sticks and made rumble standard in their controller(Big Change, also ownage towards Nintendo)
• 3D gaming was introduced and became standard(Big Change)
• Tons of historic games from each camp were released: Mario64(mario in full 3d was a huge leap), Oot(don't know why), Goldeneye, Tekken, MGS, Nights, Panzer Dragoon, Perfect Dark, Super Smash Bros., FF7(don't know why), and tons of other 3rd party games and series were released back then.

Imo of course, what do you think?

Saturn PSOne was 5th generation. PS2, Xbox, GC were 6th generation, current is 7th generation.

    Last gen was the best so far, but I think that as more games come out, this generation will take the crown.

I agree, it seems as if I'm just buying a console now a days just for 1 or 2 games, and it's multimedia capabilities.  Whereas back in the day each conosle offered something worth buying it for, which is why I used to always buy all the consoles.

    Going back now and playing all those old games I held so high is like killing my childhood, since very very few actually stand up to the time. 

The best to me was the SNES and Genisis era. So many great games that just bring back so many memorys. Also I was not paying for them then so it was Awesome.wooooode

It's still, and will always be, the SNES/Genesis generation.joeblak

The CD was introduced in the 16-bit era actually. Even before the SNES launched outside of Japan the PC-Engine CD was already out. Same with the Mega CD which came out in 1991. Even other less succesful consoles had the CD-ROM format like the CD-I and 3DO.
