The term "console generation" refers to a group of video game consoles that are released within a relatively short time frame, typically around 5-7 years. Each console generation is characterized by significant advancements in technology and gaming capabilities compared to its predecessor. These improvements include better graphics, increased processing power, expanded storage capacity, enhanced online features, and more advanced controllers with additional buttons or joysticks. The transition from one console generation to the next typically involves a shift in game development as developers take advantage of new hardware capabilities to create games that are visually stunning, feature rich, and offer an immersive gaming experience.
