Because I was disappointed by it on the 360 already.

Better question: why no excitement for Conker's Big Reunion? It releases in 2 days and I've seen no hype for it.

I definitely hope we get new consoles after 5 years. Last year's generation lasted way too long. I think 5 years is the perfect lifespan for a console.

Nobody can even come close to comparing to Miyamoto.

Platformers, specifically side scrolling platformers

No. To this day, I still consider the Dualshock controllers to be an archiac design since they have the d-pad (the primary control method for retro gaming) in the natural resting position of the thumb instead of the left analog stick (the primary control method for modern gaming).

You should have included seperate options for JRPGs and WRPGs. I find JRPGs to be the most boring genre, but I love WRPGs, so I can't vote for the role playing option.

2017 - next Nintendo console

2018 - next Xbox console

2019 - next PlayStation console

The N64. It was the best console ever for multiplayer gaming with friends.

I think a good argument could be made for both the Wii and Xbox 360.

The Wii was clearly the winner in console hardware sales. The Wii also expanded the market to people that never played video games previously.

Xbox 360 had the biggest impact and was the best at many things; from best multiplats, to greatest controller of all time, to achievements, to indie games, to digital marketplace, to revolutionizing online gaming. Xbox 360 was also the winner in game software sales.

I don't see how the PS3 could possibly be considered the winner. With the PS3, Sony lost over half it's marketshare from the previous gen, while Nintendo and Xbox both significantly increased their marketshare. For that reason alone, I'm sure Sony themselves does not consider it a winner. It also did not have a big impact on gaming and it wasn't the best at anything. Some may say it had the best games and I would definitely agree that it had the best games in the second half of the gen, but it took a long time before those great games started coming out; it's library in the first few years was awful. It also did not win in either hardware or software sales.

Probably Perfect Dark Zero. Some of the most fun I've ever had was playing GoldenEye 007 and Perfect Dark's multiplayer on the N64, so I thought it was going to be amazing to play the sequel online. Oh, how disappointed I was.

Also, as a kid, I remember being really hyped for Donkey Kong Country. Nintendo had sent me a Donkey Kong Country Exposed video tape which I watched dozens of times prior to the release and it looked like the greatest game ever. This one did not disappoint and ended up being the greatest game I had ever played.
