The story of Eight Days, one of Sony’s canceled big bets

The current console generation seems like a step backwards to me honestly. I wasn't the biggest fan of the ps3/Xbox360 era, but those consoles(and the wii) were still what I think of as consoles. They used processors and architectures that were different from off the shelf PC's, there were actually some pretty great games that came out then, despite the sea of AAA push button to watch interactive cutscene games. Hell the ps3 even got my dad into online gaming with GTA5 and before that the last games he'd really gotten into or played were on the n64

This generation just seems meh to me. They don't really do anything a PC can't do, they might as well be off the shelf specially configured PC's with locked down firmware and software, the games are much the same as the last generation, nothing really all that innovative or interesting from what i've seen, they lack functionality the previous generations had.

Growing up, each new console generation kind of blew your mind compared to the previous one. The ps4/Xbox1 and even the switch to an extent(though I'd say that's the closest to what I feel like a game console should be) don't really seem like anything special compared to previous consoles.
