Most Exciting 5-Years of Gaming

[Zap!]

I'm probably going to be alone here, but for me the best five years were 2002 - 2007. In those years we got:

-The tail end of the Dreamcast
-The tail end of the GameBoy Color (Shantae!)
-The raise and fall of the GameBoy Advance, the spiritual successor to the Super NES
-The raise and fall of the original Xbox
-The raise and fall of the GameCube
-The best years of the PS2
-The raise of the DS
-The raise of the PSP
-The raise of the Xbox 360
-The very beginnings of the PS3 and Wii

and also other things like
-The fall of memory cards, slowly replaced by harddrives
-The raise of HD gaming, 480i at first, then 480p, then up from there
-The raise of online gaming in the console space
-Region free console based gaming becoming a thing, even if it was only Sony who was doing it with the PS3.

Plus, its just staggering to think about how many completely fantastic games we saw in those years. Metroid Prime, Wind Waker, Resident Evil 4, Halo, Phoenix Wright, the list goes on and on.

As much as I love classic gaming of the 80s and 90s, Those years were just magic.
