I'm not trying to jump on you, but to echo OhMrHanky a bit...

If last gen had "garbage consoles" or not is completely irrelevant as other devs made amazing games for years and years, sports games and not. Also, throughout the last generation, EA themselves made Fifa which is one of the best selling and best received video game franchises of all time.

I think a LOT was done with games/gaming on these 'garbage' consoles that was pretty amazing. Assassins creed 2? Madden absolutely did NOT try hard enough. Period.

Without the 360 and PS3 gaming as a whole would have suffered greatly. Even the PC guys can admit that because of the console boon last generation, it made gaming as a whole a legitimate form of entertainment for the masses. I would count that as a success on the hardware level if you ask me.

I don't know why this was bumped at this point but I'm going to close it.

Nothing further can come from this thread.
