Talk:Seventh generation of video game consoles

Milestone titles

Exactly what is the criteria for this in the article?, there are numerous games not listed that have sold more than the ones listed. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.55.100 (talk) 01:08, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Should Zeebo be included?

I do not believe that Zeebo fits the criteria for inclusion in this article. One user has made all of the changes regarding this product and that user has only edited this specific article. It has only been "released" but is not actually selling. Also, it is not been released by a major manufacturer as is the case with all other systems in the article. The release date is also significantly out of step with the rest of the systems listed, possibly making itself its own separate generation or the start of the 8th generation.

One user has made all of the changes regarding this product and that user has only edited this specific article. All the edits sound like marketing speak and I suspect that that the edits are simply corporate. Merlinicorpus (talk) 18:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

The Zeebo is listed further down in the article with the Pandora. I don't think it really has any place up near the top in the table including the PS3, 360, or Wii. --96.243.180.70 (talk) 22:10, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

HEY! Zeebo IS actually selling in Brazil and it will be released in other countries soon! You can't just say it's not worth including it cause it was not released in your country or in your favourite store! Come on! Think about people around you, millions are buying this console... it's not "simply corporate", I think there's a lack. So why don't you disagree with the user who made the "Zeebo" page including it in the 7th generation era? I'm not the first to say that, in fact it was thought by another person. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.91.105.136 (talk) 21:31, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Zeebo is not aimed at the same market as the other consoles, therefore shold not be included. 24.187.148.32 (talk) 21:08, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Zeebo should be included, it's a 7th generation console. If not included here, then where would be the correct location? Shouldn't be at the top alongside xbox 360/ps3/wii as it's currently a niche product, with far less sales. If it becomes mainstream and sells similarly high numbers, the it deserves to be at the top of the article. --Oscarthecat (talk) 21:11, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

As the article is currently structured, the only real place for mentioning Zeebo is in the "Other systems" section, where it is currently listed. I removed the Zeebo material from the other sections for the reason the IP editor mentioned. The Zeebo article itself indicates that it is aimed at emerging markets. While I wouldn't necessarily equate that with being a niche product, it makes the Zeebo a poor fit with the existing tables, particularly the "Sales standings" table. Depending on how it fares, it can always be re-added in a "Home consoles" subheading. Dancter (talk) 22:04, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Where is Zeebo???

The article about "Zeebo" says it's part of the 7th generation of videogaming consoles, but when I try to include this new console in the 7th generation era consoles page, someone immediatly excludes all my work! I DON'T AGREE WITH THAT! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.91.105.136 (talk) 21:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

See earlier section of talk page. --Oscarthecat (talk) 21:12, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Why the name 'next gen'?

Why is the Ps3, x360 and Wii generation called "the next generation"? Did people call Ps2, xbox and Gamecube "the next generation" back in the days? What wil the next generation (8th generation) be called? The next next generation? 83.108.193.157 (talk) 17:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
