6th gen all the way. Granted a lot of good games spawned from 7th gen, but also more gimmicky shit like season passes, collectors editions with cheat code bonuses, announcing DLC before actal game launch, and disc locked content reared it's ugly head.
Plus last gen had more new, fresh IP's to add variety amongst the rehashes. 7th gen started off good (2005 - 2008), but devolved to what was mostly politics, tacked on multiplayer to games that didn't need it, DRM crap, sales figures and impatient casual gamer focus groups who need to be spoon fed text pop up in game messages on how to advance to the next level.
Devs now are too cheap and lazy to even include a detailed instruction manuals which were pretty cool to read back in the day, but constantly bitch and complain about lost of profits from used game sells.
