Has Peter Gabriel ended up better than Genesis?

I don't like to judge,but it seems to me like singer/songwriter Peter Gabriel has ended up outdoing his former bandmates in Genesis.While that band had a final reunion tour that had absolutely no new album for songs,and where lead singer Phil Collins had to preform sitting in a wheelchair, Gabriel is coming out with a brand new album of original material that's already being called excellent.Also,his current tour as been given rave reviews and Gabriel is reported to be incredibly engaged and energetic for a man his age.It seems to me that he has outlasted his former collaborators!Your thoughts?

Everybody's on their own journey.

Consider The Rolling Stones.
Bill Wyman quit what ? Twenty years ago?
Charlie Watts died two years ago and yet the remaining members (at the ripe old age of seventy something) are about to release a new album and probably tour.

I guess it comes down to interest and desire.

@Picklebobble2 Not trying to dump on Genesis;I happen to respect them.But a facts a fact:after We Can't Dance in 1991(which was a rather mediocre album),they never recorded any new music.

@DavidT8899 maybe that's all they had.
So they did it and went on to other things away from public life'.

@Picklebobble2 And there's nothing wrong with that per se; however,when compared to how Gabriels career turned out ,they are lacking.
