Nintendo DS is NOT Seventh Gen.

I don't think the DS is Seventh Generation because first, it was made in 2004, and it's graphics are similar of the PSone. Yes, one. I think the DS belongs in Sixth Generation, because is is not 7th Gen. worthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.62.215.236 (talk) 17:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The distinction of whether it belongs in sixth or seventh generation is due to release dates and what it is competing against. It is not whether it is graphically similar to a previous generation console. Chan Yin Keen | Talk 18:48, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Exactly, otherwise the Wii would also belong in the previous generation. Nintendo even admitted up front the graphics wouldn't be significantly better than the GameCube's. The Seventh Taylor (talk) 21:30, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Graphical capabilities don't determine the generation of a console. Neither do motion sensing capabilities (that would put the Wii a generation past the 360). The release date is the only factor. Why do people keep bringing this up? Useight (talk) 03:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Other consoles

Should the Vii be included, or are there many other Famiclones in this generation that should then be included as well? The Seventh Taylor (talk) 21:40, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Console War?

MAybe we should include the console war... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.162.79.140 (talk) 23:06, 8 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Archive?

The page is starting to get rather long, so I would suggest an archive up to and including "Sales Standings." If there are no objections, I will archive the page by Tuesday. Laptopdude (talk) 15:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current price

I think we should add current price to the comparison table. It will give readers a better idea on how the consolemakers position themselves on the market today. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blueblister (talk • contribs) 03:18, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think, the prices have not changed since launch. If there is variation in terms of price from the launch price, it is probably due to the retailers, not console makers. Can anyone verify any official price drops or price hikes though? Chan Yin Keen | Talk 05:09, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Xbox 360 in Japan is getting an offical price drop, although the article indicates only US dollars not yen. --Silver Edge (talk) 05:55, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, my bad. The 60GB PS3 had a pricedrop in october of last year but it has been phased out since then.Blueblister (talk) 15:51, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
