I wouldn't necessarily say it was a flop, because that kind of implies it failed due to its own flaws. But I'd definitely say it failed.

I think what absolutely killed this generation was how hard it became to get the newer consoles. If there was a ton of must-own games that were only available on the newer consoles people might have been more willing to make the effort, but the last decade has been a bad one for worthwhile games and most of the good ones are still available on the previous gen consoles, so there was never really much motivation to try.

Now with talk of the PS6 and next iteration of XBox not being far off, it feels like both Sony and Microsoft have written this generation off entirely. Hopefully they'll do a better job getting product out into the world next time.
