It’s so weird that these consoles are in the latter stages of their life. Was it just this generation that was weird or am I just getting old?

It seems that they are not as popular as the Xbox one and ps4 were. Maybe I just checked out of modern gaming.

You're old. The generations just keep getting older faster, and that trend won't stop until you do

They're not getting older faster. You're older, so time feels faster now.

Also, the scarcity of current gen consoles for the first couple years kinda made it seem like the current generation only barely started since most people only barely got their current-gen hardware in the last year or so, but keep in mind we're currently in the 4th year of the 9th gen at this point. This gen started in 2020. We're past the halfway point for most generations by now.

Wwwhoooosh.

Thanks for missing the point of my comment and then reiterating what I said in the fashion of "clunky" and "pedantic".
