So throughout time we have seen many consoles come and go but those consoles gave us many a great games. Everyone has their own favorite console generation for one reason or another and here we can discuss which generation of console gaming was the best and why.
For me, the best console generation in gaming is the beginning of the PS1/N64/Sega Saturn era all the way to the end of the PS2/Xbox/Gamecube era. Here technology was big advanced enough to allow more interesting mechanics but it still wasn't quite as corporate as it is in the current console generation. As a result, many great game series came from that generation from Metal Gear Solid to Resident Evil to Hitman among other series. Not to mention it had a strong middle market as well so we got to see more obscure and experimental games that probably wouldn't get greenlit these days.
