this should be interesting










I was raised on the N64 and Gamecube, but the N64 definitely got me into gaming.

It's debatable. Nintendo's confusing.

Really the N64, but I was playing games off and on on various earlier consoles before then (namely, TurboGrafx and occasionally the SNES).

I started gaming on the Commodore PET / Arcades / Pinball, but the first console I played was the Atari 2600.

Where does that put me?

Somewhere between 4th and 5th. My family had an SNES but I didn't play it much, and I really got into gaming with the Game Boy (which I believe is considered 4th gen) and the N64.

The Sega Genesis was the 1st console I ever played but I really got into gaming with the PS1 so the 5th more-so than the 4th.

this but N64 instead of PS1

You could probably fit Switch, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X as 9th Gen. Or 8.5 or whatever.

Console generations aren't really going to be the same thing anymore.

The NES, right when it came out in new york in NA. I am extremely lucky to be born in a family that loves video games like crazy, or else I wouldn't be able to play all these consoles soon they released like this.

My earliest console was the SNES but the N64 had been out for a year already when I first started playing at the age of 4, so I wasn't really active within the fourth gen, just started with a fourth gen console. We got an N64 when I was about 5 or 6.

I wouldn't say I was an avid gamer until the very end of the sixth gen and the start of the seventh, though. I had a much broader range of interests before then and my gaming up to that point was pretty much just Tony Hawk games.

Probably the 4th.

I did play the 3rd gen consoles, albeit a few years after they came out, but I played the 4th at the time and loved it.

And no official source claims the Switch is ninth gen.

The main reason is that no other new consoles are announced, so it's not really a generation.

The Switch also directly competes with Xbox One and PS4. It may be a new "Nintendo generation", but for consoles in general it's still eighth.

My dad had an Atari 2600 and an NES before I was born, I remember playing both a lot when I was little. We got an SNES when I was 4 or 5 maybe I think, but I had already gotten hooked. I chose NES because I liked it more but I liked the Atari too

This actually brings me to an interesting question. Will there ever be a new console generation? We're getting to a point where technical limits are being hit.

I think there will be another couple, then consoles will cease to exist (in their current form at least) in the not-so-distant future (as in, there'll be no new gens).

We're not even close to hitting technical limits. We're running up against economical limits. The amount of money it takes to improve our current generation of games graphically and in scope is becoming unsustainable. The hardware itself is still improving fast.

This is why stuff like VR is where things will be headed. It takes much more power to render the same game we have now but in VR.
