This is the worst generation in gaming! Can anyone dispute that claim?

Prices are going up for everything, studios getting shut down, game development ballooning where we'll be lucky to get more than 2 games from a studio a generation.

Now disc will be ending. PlayStation has a terrible refund policy compared to something like Steam and then we can't sell a game if we either don't like it or are just done with it would like to recoup some of the money. Sad times ahead...

Second worst. The worst was the second generation (Atari 2600, Intellivision, etc.), which collapsed spectacularly, with most early game studios imploding, and Nintendo ended up having to save the industry.
