I'll remember it as: Generation Sequels.

I'm not just talking about the games, many of which are good if not great as you listed. I'm talking about technology trends this generation, the explosion of social media, the explosion of non-gaming business ventures popping up on consoles, the increase in gimmicks in way of gaming. There is also the dumbing down of online gaming for consoles and the abuse of DLC, and yeah I won't get off my PC-gaming high horse. And the cherry on top is that I do see gaming being removed from consoles and brought over to multimedia platforms like cell phones or iPads. Maybe that isn't a bad thing, but get off my lawn!

I'd think you, of all people, being a Nintendo fan and an old school one at that, would long for the nostalgia and kinda get at how I feel.
