Hello,
I have never contributed to this article (and my help is certainly not needed - it's great and I would probably just make it worse!), but as a reader, one thing seemed weird to me. Is there a reason why Mass Effect 2 is not included as a notable game? It's in the List of video games considered the best article, so I would think it deserves mention here, but wasn't sure. My apologies if this has already been discussed.-- Ktmartell ( talk) 22:35, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

I haven't seen any info about WW discontinuation on the internet. Granted I no longer see any seller having new units for either system on sale I just haven't found a link about WW discontinuation dates. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 09:28, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
@ Rhain: See new sourcing at PlayStation 3, looks like the book is closed on that one. Unfortunately still haven't found any solid sourcing that Wii is done, other than the lack of new sales in Nintendo's corporate releases. -- ferret ( talk) 12:05, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

This article has been tagged with a GA request template. The obvious issue is the update tag. I am not too familiar with this article, but it seems like most have been discontinued so not sure what more in the way of an update is needed. There are other concerns though. The lead is quite big and there is information in it that is not mentioned in the article body. Also I am not so sure on the constant references to price for each console. Do we really need list of USA, Japan and European launch prices. In fact the article is pretty dominated by lists and minute details (Focus criteria). There is a bit of original research in milestone titles as well. AIRcorn (talk) 23:45, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Users were updating the sales numbers for the "Best-selling game" by looking up the latest sales number for the title and changing the "as of" date. This is misleading as another game could have surpassed the listed game in the meantime, meaning the "Best-selling game" designation may not be accurate for the listed "as of" date. The number should only be updated with a source that clearly shows that the game is the best-selling game for the console. 71.191.0.15 ( talk) 09:22, 12 July 2019 (UTC)
This source, currently used for PSP's "Best-selling game" on this page, seems to me that it might only be counting U.S. sales, since the time period it's based on starts at March 2005, which is the North American release date for the PSP. Also, the last few words in the article qualify the PSP numbers with "in the United States". Thus, it doesn't seem like a good source for the worldwide best-selling game. I couldn't find a better source though. 71.191.1.193 ( talk) 16:51, 15 July 2019 (UTC) (I am the same person as the 71.191.0.15 user who created the previous section.)

It’s capabilities are compared to those of PS2 and XBOX 1 and Nintendo Wii cannot render hd 720p so how come it is considered a seventh generation console? Just because it was released in 2012 or something so the date makes it a 7th gen? LOL! If that is a 7th gen then I pity Nintendo players owning such a subpar equipment. Even more when thinking Switch which is merely a low-budget handheld being labeled as 8th gen. F*** me… 83.20.17.166 ( talk) 17:16, 21 February 2021 (UTC)W4rb1rd
Are you kidding me? Competed? It’s like a race between Subaru Impreza and Volkswagen Golf. Nope, the hardware determines whether it belongs to said generation and Wii is nowhere near 7th. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.20.17.166 ( talk) 17:29, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
You go by the reliable sources, but do you go with logic as well? According to what you said if Nintendo released their first NES and then let it „compete” with PS3/X360 you’d still call it 7th generation? Sheer nonsense, pal. Generation = hardware, not trends going among customers. Compare: https://www.reddit.com/r/truegaming/comments/4h6kcs/the_wii_u_is_a_seventh_generation_console_and_the/ 83.20.17.166 ( talk) 09:00, 22 February 2021 (UTC)W4rb1rd
All previous generations had this PR-based monicker about the mostly arbitrary assignation of "[]-bit generation". Nothin like this for the seventh generation? The eighth-generation should be 512-bit and the current one 1024-bit. The question is whether anyone was actually trying to market those figures in PR materials or in reviews. 5.18.206.22 ( talk) 16:34, 1 December 2021 (UTC)
So considering that this generation has long since ended, I was wondering when a list of the milestone titles would be compiled for it in the article, considering that all previous generations have these lists as well.
