I feel like the 6th gen consoles only get comfier the worse they sold

You're favourite 6th gen console and why?

how hard would it be to make a new 6th gen game that isn't a typical 2d pixel indie thing?

>It's also more interesting to learn about how older games were able to bypass technical limitations back in the days.

This is the number one reason for me. I still think it's neat how unique the 5th/6th gen consoles were from each other. Even when dealing with multiplat titles, you could see where devs either had to cut corners or could make things better depending on the strengths/weaknesses of the console.

Consoles suck now because outside of the gimmicky shit Nintendos doing the consoles are all basically the same now.

Maybe big time VR adoption will lead to more specialized hardware again? Who knows.

>Last gen before the advent of DLCs

Is this unironically the golden era of console gaming?
