Seventh Generation (2005 - 2018)
The change in generation is marked not by any specific technological advances, but by the participation that the gaming industry has had in the development of information technology in the world market. It was estimated that in 2007 about 25% of overall computer development was specifically for game or related production. An amazing fact.
From that time on, each console decided to make its own mark in the industry and has its differential appeal against competitors in the hope, not of trying to convince people that the other product was not worth it, but of retaining buyers for their interests. For example, the Xbox 360 maximized its video resolution, bringing a technology that allowed it to render natively in high definition (HD), the PlayStation 3 brought support compatible with HD movies including Blu-ray discs in 3D, that is, it became a console and a DVD player at the same time, and eventually Wii, which brought a motion sensor built into the controls, which allowed games on that console to bring the experience that required the player to move, really. From then on also that in 2010 Microsoft had the idea of Kinect.
The main consoles of the generation were: Microsoft Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and Nintendo Wii.
The games that most marked the generation were: Grand Theft Auto V (Xbox 360), Fallout (Xbox 360), Assassin's Creed (Xbox 360), Fifa (Xbox 360), Watch Dogs (Xbox 360), The Last of Us (PlayStation 3), Persona 5 (PlayStation 3), BioShock (PlayStation 3), Dark Souls (PlayStation 3), Wii Sports (Wii), Super Mario Galaxy (Wii), Super Smash Bros (Wii), The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (Wii), etc.
The seventh generation began after the launch of the Microsoft Xbox 360 console on November 22, 2005. Along with it came the Sony PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo Wii. Amazingly, handhelds of this generation came before home consoles, with the Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable (PSP) in 2004, although they are not meant to signal the beginning of the era.
