On Twitter, I recently saw someone opine that this current generation of gaming consoles could ultimately end up being forgotten for not pushing enough boundaries.

I found the statement interesting, insomuch that the PS4 is selling huge and the Switch is constantly dazzling. I actually thought the idea was truer of the previous generation (PS3/Wii/360) - other than the Wii's all encompassing market strategy, it didn't really have as many highlights.

Personally, I think the fifth generation was pretty spectacular; it was a two horse race between the N64 and original PlayStation, but both had a strong library with some all-time greats.

But what do you think?

Here's the console generations, for reference - as well as the list of top-selling consoles, if that helps shape your opinion.
