With the announcement of Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Syndicate a few years way back, we also got news that the AAA developer was dropping development for games on the previous platforms. So the question is, isn’t it time to let the past gen go?

This means from now on they were focusing their efforts solely on the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. There has been some outcry from this announcement, but why? Let’s take a look at why it’s time to say goodbye to the past generation of consoles.

With that said though, something has felt off this generation of consoles and it has led me to sell both my Nintendo Wii U and 3DS. Let’s jump and take a look as to why I said goodbye to my Nintendo consoles.

Like I said before, I really enjoy Nintendo and am thankful to the folks there for the games they have created for us.
