The Beauty of Portable Gen 7 is here! If you're more fond of the DS or PSP, go ahead and check it out!
Hands down the best generation. All 3 companies had something unique to offer. I find myself going back to my PS3/Wii catalog before touching the 360, but there's still so many amazing games from that gen.
Best generation of gaming no questions asked
If this was your first console generation I guess you could say that 😂
Definitely the most iconic era for online gaming. More people than ever have headsets but if you had one, you used it back then.
@@JoshiiWah yeah very, ps3 was my first online exp but i had an ps2 first.
Fr
Idk 6th gen was pretty damn good, imo 6th and 7th are the best
Older consoles felt like they had an endless list of games. The variety was limitless.
DS and PSP crying in the corner
IMHO it is wrong to compare handhelds with station consoles. They're like, ya'know, whole different world
@@bang5284still ! Would have been cool to have em there, my entire childhood ;(
@@bang5284 they're still 7th gen consoles and have to be mentioned, specially cause despite how different they are they had HELLA compatibility with their bigger counterparts, PSP and DS had a big amount of features to interact with PS3 and Wii, for example use you PSP as a PS3 controller, use it for remote play before cloud gaming was a thing, or on the Nintendo side transferring Pokémon from the Wii to the DS, even Gamecube and GBA compatibility was a big thing in 6th gen
I think it's every other home gen that counts for a handheld gen, PSP stuck around for PS2 and PS3, DS being GameCube and Wii
@@bang5284 The Wii and the DS are from the same generation, just like the PSP and the PS3
After 7 all the online garbage went too far (games being unplayable without internet and games being broken until you downloaded a huge ass update), I know my Wii will be working for decades while my Switch will at best be handicapped in the future!
For real though. I was so excited when they announced Super Mario 3D All Stars but guess what? Without first installing a patch you won't je able to play it AT ALL!
The moment I saw that shit I threw the game on ebay.
Sold it for more than I bought it though so no financial damage to me but damn.
Here’s a nice story:I’m too young to experience gen 7 but somehow, I did. I owned and played a ps3, I played a Wii at my friends house, and I played the 360 when I was VERY young
yo same lol, this is very relatable
Gen 7 was my childhood (and so was 6
samee, had a x360 that i bricked while trying to get free xbox live 😅
I didn't grew up on Gen 7 but i got to experience the Wii u and 3DS these mark me sooo much
gen 8 isn't as good as 7 but still pretty decent
@@honorificabilitudinitatibusishyeah I grew up with both 🥹
My first console was a Gen 7 after my dad gave me his old Xbox 360 when he got the Xbox One
Why do people hate 8 gen?
@@arthurgamerpro6585 I don’t think people hate them but I think people not only expected fps jumps but better graphics like lazy port of gta V
I grew up playing Portal 2 and Minecraft on the PS3 with my older brother and friends and I remember it being such a blast. (PORTAL 2 IS PEAK GAMING AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL STANDING)
I definitely used to play Minecraft on the Xbox 360 at my friend's house in 2017
You don't have to die on that hill man we're all there and we are still alive.
I actually grew up with all 3 of these consoles and i still have them all to this day. I by far used the ps3 and wii more than the 360 as a kid, but wii sports and Littlebigplanet were great games. Nothing will ever be as nostalgic to me as coming back to LittleBigPlanet 2 again was a few weeks ago.
This was the first generation that I feel like I really followed the life of consoles, sure, I've had contact with other consoles before, but I was able to enjoy both Wii and PS3 practically from start to finish.
It was a good time.
The peak of gaming
Dude the ending gave me literal goosebumps 🤩
I wish I could go back to this generation, it was about the creativity and the fun of the games
Generation 7 arguably the last "real" videogame systems released.
What
Yep
"real" doesn't mean anything. You're just wearing rose tinted glasses.
Gen 8 had the 3DS
@@mr.s4ndman Gen 8 was a switch exclusive
The ps3 is amazing when you put a 1tb SSD you can put all movies you want signing up for a Japanese PlayStation account and getting is so awesome
Don't forget that Gen 7 birthed some of the greatest Western RPGs of all time! Oblivion, Skyrim, Fable 2, Mass Effect, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, etc.
Dragon Age Origins
The Witcher 1 & 2
Divinity
So glad you mentioned Fable 2. That game is an underrated masterpiece that usually doesn’t get mentioned with Fallout, Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, etc but it’s definitely in that class.
I still have my Wii and PS3 plugged into the living room TV lol. I play the Wii the most because people love it at parties lol
The generation that started my love for gaming :)
The 7th gen was a last console generation, after that everyone started making a simple PC based architecture which eliminated visual uniqueness of each of the systems. In 8th and after, exclusive games start to become multiplatform and gaming started to feel less special and more for everyone. Now if you have a good PC, there is no reason to have a console, back than there were so many games and experiences you could not get on PC. It's like gaming become a black/white/gray SUV that flooded modern traffic: ugly, boring and everyone drives one.
Literally, I'm pretty sure Xbone and Ps4 used the same exact components
the xbox one was more intended as a multimedia system than anything, hopefully the brand dies soon it sure derserves it. the ps4 started decent, but sony as a company is just as trash, it just can't afford as many failures as microsoft.
Well… what about the Wii U, the PS Vita and the 3DS? Those were considered quite nostalgic by most people, even though those consoles are a part of the 8th Generation.
@@DaACTUALLYREALReddie Vita and 3DS are portable, the rules are a bit different there =) Wii U pretty much existed because of the compatibility with Wii, there are a very few games specific to the system.
Nostalgia is a terrible thing that blurs people minds and causes them to be aggressively protective over something instead of being analytical.
That SUV analogy is so true
It’s crazy that we’re now at a place where the console wars are over. These two were at each others throats and Nintendo just had the whole world by the balls both console and handheld.
My second favorite generation of games after the 5th gen. So many epic games and features!
The 7th Generation was the last time that the focus was on the games
The next generation started focusing on squeezing as much money out of us as possible, and this generation is even worse..
and the generation where they went beyond games into social media, all consoles have a web browser, and more including food delivery and contributing to help fight disease, the next generation shoved DRM and online advertising into the games.
Yes exactly, the focus was more on games and bringing unique experiences, Modern ngaming today is just a joke
@@Electro096 agree, and they focused on stuff other than apps games as well, but not excessive advertising, addicting games that cost money for DLCs, and excessive DRM.
No, 2012 to 2016 was a good year for gen 8
I'm your 900 subscriber bro 😎
this was a nice short commentary , would have loved to see more in depth analysis of each console but it was good nonetheless
To be honest, I thought it was a little short myself, but I was also scared of creating a mindless yap session. If I do something similar again, I'll likely make it longer. Thank you!
Sadly i didn't grew up with these consoles when they got released. I got my hands on Playstation 1 and computer.
I saw PS3 & Xbox360 only around 2011-2013 at my friends house.
I think Gen7 is so goated because it was the last generation before digital gaming really took over.
I've been thinking about this a lot. Best generation ever. This video deserves a lot of views for being so elegantly concise yet hitting so close to home (though each of these machines could easily be talked about for HOURS)
All those identical late 2000's/early 2010's hairstyles crack me up.
Wii feels more like a 6.5 gen console with 7th gen features. Xbox 360 Arcade was kind of the same 6.5 feel. I say this because they weren’t quite HD consoles.
I enjoyed my early childhood with those consoles. I wish i were a teen back then so i could have enjoyed it even more
Hearing the Galaxy 2 World 3 music brought me back. Thanks dude
The beauty of being in middle school and highschool for this gen because the generation ended when i graduated highschool
The first console i played on was my dads old n64 and my moms old wii and i loved mario 64 so he got me a dslite with mario 64 ds and it was so fun (it was at the time the wiiu and 3ds where out)
Looking back on the past ain’t gonna fix anything lil bro… it ain’t gonna fix it😭
Just played Mario and Zelda during that generation on the Wii what got me through was the DS
Favorite Mario and Zelda games on the Wii? For me: Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess.
what a powerful message, really resonated with me.
The 32-bit era was my favorite. Sega Saturn and PSX were the Best ever!
32-bit era means something pretty different for PC gamers. The hardware went 32-bit in the mid-1980s with the 386, but games that actually required it didn't show up until the early 1990s, with stuff like Doom using 32-bit protected mode DOS. Similarly, while the Athlon 64 came out in the mid-2000s, games didn't start requiring a 64-bit OS until much later. It'll be decades before we have to make 128-bit processors. I doubt I'll live long enough to see it.
@@Roxor128 I didn't get a computer till 2001. Prior to that i had Zero experience with Home PCs.
The 5th gen was so weird. Not only did you have the big 3 but you also had Atari, 3DO, FM Towns Marty, PC FX, Amiga 32 and a boat load of other crazy devices.
Generation 6 and 7 are still my favorites of all time. They can never be matched
Lies
@@arthurgamerpro6585He isn't lying. No loot boxes and microtransactions and unfinished games like we have now.
When 12gb was a lot of storage for a console and you only needed a few kb to install a game
I feel very sorry for those young kids or new people who really join this modern generatrion of gaming to be their first
Ok boomer
Honestly dude. It started in 2005 when the 360 first came out. Like, the 360 was a monster and still is the best Xbox console to date. I didn't get an Xbox 360 till I was 19 in 2009. Man.. after finally getting my own, it was such an amazing time. I still play my PS3, Wii\Wii U and 360 today more than modern consoles. Better games, simple gaming Consoles. That's all you need. Today, it's just insane how bad gaming has gotten {outside of the PC and Switch in my opinion}
What makes gen 7 great in my opinion was that every manufacturer was ultimately successful. The only generation to be somewhat similar is gen 4, where both the SNES and Megadrive/Genesis (and to a lesser extent the PC Engine and Neo Geo) were successful in their target market
They say the halo 2 days was peak multiplayer but like bro you can never top the cod, minecraft, gears and gta days like you legit can’t not now or before that generation
Nostalgia
Nice thoughts video
peak gaming
The PlayStation three startup sound really zoned me back to better times
Depression
best era
Intro music title?
Gears, uncharted, mass effect. Whole trilogies and more. Tons of games. In disc. Offline.
Everything peaked at Gen 7, I will say the Wii was special but I'm glad the Switch isn't aim at the elderly anymore, My mom's Wii rots away in her garage for some reason she won't even give it to my sister but oh well I have my own Wii and Wii U.
Really do miss the Wii weather and news and those demos you can download to your DS.
As for PS3, man I miss the games it had and Playstation home.
Thanks for No Surprises now I’m sad
Best Gaming generation 😢
Halo 3 Midnight Release. You just had to be there, never forget.
I bought the PS3 3 years after it was released because I was still overwhelmed with the PS2.👍🏽🥃
Exactly especially since 2021 @D
most famous current gen games are just gen 7 games remakes, this shows how gud the games hold up
What is the song at 2:05?
Great gaming generation. Glad to see all the kids finally found our old toys.
Damn, The Crew hasn't been popular for a long time. Kinda surprised to see them again.
Recently bought a used 360. It's brilliant. The Wii was damn brilliant too. I have no desire to play anything beyond that generation. The last great generation, for sure. Where every console was different and offered something unique. Bespoke hardware
You know what you know it's a bit sad for me because I was been born in the year 2013 and and I was not self aware enough what's going on stuff I was still an infant sad part
lbp and minecraft on ps3 were so great, also every single 1st party wii game.
Did the PS3 and Xbox 360 have downloadable patch updates to games? That, DLC and other games that require online access (there were a few), would make them no gos for me. The Wii has its own problem as it would constantly freeze on me.
Yes both definitely had patches and a ton of DLC, especially past 2010. PS3 in particular also takes a long time to download and instal patches since both downloading and installing were separate steps. Both consoles are still worth owning but they are about as online dependent as a PS4 or PS5.
Radiohead - No Surprises
Amazing Japanese Sony PlayStation 3 was the greatest. the most crazy insane tech innovation & creativity of the PS3 with all those exclusive games & thousands stacked on thousands stacked on even more thousands of JAPANESE GAMES!!!!!!! Long Live Sony of Japan
All three consoles were absolutely awesome
I love this generation! All 3 consoles had different features to offer !
Didn't realize how good generation 7 was until it was gone...
I have all three consoles in my house. If I had to pick my favorite, it would be the Wii.
7th Gen gave birth to awesome series! Assassin's, Gears, Dead Space, Uncharted, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Last of Us, Left 4 Dead, Portal, Dead Rising, Dragons Dogma, Dragon Age, Bayonetta etc. Compared to modern games, these are far from "retro".
peak
The 7th generation was the last time we saw a true console "war." Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo were ruthless in trying you win you over with quality games. Even the handhelds were fantastic in that generation, and even mobile phone games displayed considerably more effort than the garbage available today.
Still have my ps3
These are the last consoles you don't need an internet connection to enjoy.
Gens 6 and 7 were practically the only times where all 3 big boys had something to offer, be it in terms of sales or quality. Even the handhelds were great. The GBA was pretty decent (if repetitive due to all it's rereleases) and the DS and PSP were absolutely amazing, with droves of casual and hardcore games alike.
Gen 8? Xbox One was a slog to start and had practically no physical media, Sony _did_ fail with the Vita (even if it's pretty decent nowadays with it's backlogand whatnot) and the Wii U was painful for the first half of it's life (and still is in a lot of ways, now that the servers are down. The 3DS was GOATed, though.)
Now/Gen 9? Honestly, the Switch is very good, but 1. It's flawed in many ways - terrible joy-cons, Nintendo's most mediocre sports games (+Paper Mario: The Origami King, and possibly more), IP burnout (albeit this is just me, but 2 Zelda games + re-releases, 2 Mario games + re-releases, 4+ Pokemon games counting Z, and 2 Splatoon games, to name a few), droves of shovelware, and just a fuckton of saturation in general (seriously, there's so many games on it that playing and even affording a decent chunk of the worthwhile ones is almost impossible if you don't make ridiculous amounts of money and time, since they keep coming out, keep getting more expensive, and never go on sale).
2. It's so "in between 8th and 9th gen" that it hardly constitutes as either.
As for the rest of Gen 9... This is probably just a me thing, but neither of them are nearly as compelling as they have been historically. Exclusives feel lacking compared to legacy consoles, and while some objectively amazing games have come out for them, many of them like BG3 and a ton of indies aren't exclusive.
In fact, this is a problem to the point where many games are still coming out for *Xbox ONE and PS4,* like Sea of Stars, Fall of Porcupine, and Freedom Planet 2 (FP2 even came out within the last month). If this generation is so non-compelling that so many devs are falling back on the previous one, that's a problem.
You either have way too many games and terrible hardware or a couple pieces of machinery that serve no purpose other than to play interchangeable games and $3/4/500 of wannabe computers to put below your TV, since (besides a few exclusives each) they don't have anything more going for them than PCs (unlike historically, where the droves of exclusives and much lower cost gave them plenty reason to exist).
Anything before gen 6 is pretty archaic overall and lacks the design perfections the future would hold, even if many master pieces like SoTN, Mike Tyson's Punch Out, and Chrono Trigger (as some personal faves) stand the test of time.
But hey. That's just an opinion. -A GAME OPINION!-
it Was the Best , today is complete Diffrent but not to bad .
The beauty of this generation was that the good games like Castlevania, MegaMan, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy were only good on DS.
sorry it's just a simple fluffy low-info video. it would have been better to choose between a heavy, dense in-depth retrospective or a very stylistic montage/showcase for the feels
3:03 A.K.A best game ever made
Honestly there’s no way you can make a 7th gen console video without talking about the best console that whole generation the Nintendo Ds, the wii was my favorite too it the DS just had an impact on me
Man that video was too short
This is the best era of modern gaming. Gaming is trash today especially involving sony and xbox. I do like the nintendo switch. But the ps3 and xbox 360....wow just an amazing time in gaming.
6th and 7th generations were the best of gaming ever. Beats todays gaming by miles. Too bad some peoplr are too ignorant to realize that.
Xbox one came out I picked up a 360 used played halo gears and fallout. Found love those three but besides those nothing else. have had the Xbox one branched up beyond what was available on Nintendo at the time, but still mainly focused on playing the Wii U then picked up my switch and my series X and play both but the switch gets more game time
I still have my Xbox 360 and PS3 + enjoy gaming on those 2 systems more than current gen consoles. Gen 7 systems have a more expansive library of quality games with solid single player and multiplayer modes than current gen consoles.
no surprises
Pretty interesting that in the end the 360 got last place, xbox has never been in 2nd or 1st. Pretty impossible for them to be better than PS or Nintendo but it was interesting.
The total hardware sales get mentioned a lot, but Xbox was raking it in for software sales and especially Xbox Live subs. $60 a year extra from 46 million subscribers.
@@ChimpRiot do you know that in the end of the gen: xbox lost billions because the red ring? Xbox confirmed in 2021 that the xbox division of MS has never made a cent.
@@postupislilrodneysson9986 The Xbox HARDWARE division. Consoles are traditionally loss leaders so they can make money back on software and services.
Although I think the 6th gen is a little bit better, ALL of these consoles were just amazing. I have all three :D
i grew up with all these consoles although i never liked the wii at all and i think the 6th generation is objectively the best gen
"the mario franchise is officially dead the best solution is hop for other consoles like the upcoming PlayStation three or the newly launched xbox 360" jeremy clarkson 2005
you forgot the Kinect
The one game I wish I played in the generation of the Wii was Sonic Colors .when I was basically getting to the Wii U which I never could get one cuz my mom would let me..l I started playing more of the Wii library and my girlfriend when we were younger I was still a kid before we ended up fully dating as teenagers got me this game I'll never forget her in my best friend for doing that for me she's still a childhood person I'll always love and dear for letting me play Sonic Colors. Do not play the Sonic Colors Ultimate Game it is bad just stating the facts everyone
Sonic Colors is a underrated game.
Colors was just trash to begin with
The Gen that ruined gaming (but was still way better than anything afterwards).
sadly true
The last great generation for me. All the AAA franchises I liked were at their peak. Online and split screen multiplayer coexisted peacefully. Everyone had a mic, for better or worse. Each console had a distinct personality with different aims and goals. Each consoles UI had very distinct design language, the XMB and Wii Menu were elegant. 360's started great with the blades and went downhill from there.
Every generation since has been more and more disappointing.
So many ppl grifting on this nostalgia rn. I love it. The generation was great bc I was in my late teens early 20s not bc of the consoles but ok go off.
I used to play a lot of the Wii but I hated dealing with the batteries so I mostly just play GameCube games. I have fun memories of joining Facebook groups to get friend codes to play smash brothers brawl with people. tatsunoko vs capcom was a lot of fun for the only fighting game on the Wii and Mario kart Wii is probably one of the best Mario karts.
Most of my Wii games are super kidsy. I don’t play my Wii anymore. Once I got a PlayStation 3 I just kinda hated a lot of my Wii library. When I got my PlayStation 3 It came with Uncharted 3. So I just play demos until I discovered PlayStation Home. The first games I bought on the PlayStation 3 are Final Fantasy 13 and Mugen Souls. My early library was ass. I fell in love with Dead or alive 5 and Tekken and that’s when I truly got into online gaming
This video isn't very in depth. These feel more like short ads for time travelers who want to go back and play these. Also, none of those games in the beginning I would be playing in 2010.
Sorry I didn’t go too in depth, I didn’t want the video to be too long! Also, LOTS of people played those games in 2010.
@@odysseusreal Well for example I beat Mario Galaxy before 2010 and didn't play it for a long time.
That was the last time Nintendo was as powerful as the Xbox and PlayStation what took me away from Nintendo was no achievements Xbox took me away and PlayStation almost lost me like Nintendo did but years later Sony add trophies 🏆 Nintendo still doesn’t have achievements still not more powerful then the Wii
