the 8th generation has been deleted before twice already and has just been recreated and will likely be deleted again [1]
While I think this is no harm in having the article, recreating the article is the wrong approach while the event is so far into the future. When the time comes we can ask an administrator to dig up all the old versions of the article and we can add the updated information. In the mean time there are lots of things to do on
Wikipedia:WikiProject Computer and video games
Enjoy. The article will unfortunately most likely be deleted soon so there is no need to leave it on this template.-- E-Bod 02:28, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Well with Nintendo announcing that they are going to unveil the "Wii 2" in June, it might be best to get started in recreating the "8th Generation" page. Nhajivandi ( talk) 14:32, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't the 8th generation begin in 2011 since the 3DS was released in 2011? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Supyloco ( talk • contribs) 05:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
Sixth gen ends when PS2 stops being produced-it will still be produced in 2008. (And is still outselling PS3 and 360.)
Seventh gen leave it like (2004- because that's how its usually done for human lifespan, etc. Tehw1k1 08:33, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Is the sixth generation over yet? the PS2 is still selling very well and it is doing better than the PS3. My personal opinion is that we should either put 2008 as the end of the sixth generation because that's when the PS3 will likely begin to consistently outsell the PS2 (this option could be considered speculation) or we could leave it open like the seventh generation. (ie. "1998-"). Either way, I think it is incorrect to list it as ending in 2006. Thingg ( talk) 03:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Alright, sixth gen has to be over now. The PS2 finally was discontinued in North America on November 6, 2012. The end is 2012 NOW. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.11.114.5 ( talk) 18:39, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
I think it would be a good idea to make this template a little wider so we can spell out "North American video game crash of 1983". I can picture a European gamer looking at a history of video games article and thinking: "I didn't know there was a video game crash in 1983" only to find out the crash primarily affected North America. If you would like to see what the widened template would look like, please check out User:Thingg/sandbox. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thingg ( talk) 03:31, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Ok why have the sixth and seventh gen years been changed for fifth and sixth gen from 1993-2002 and 1998-2006 to 1993-2004 and 1998-2010?! Because a generation is a major era for each generation, not just a time when a certain console e.g ps1, ps2 is being sold, if that was the point the second generation would be from 1976-1992 cos of the 2600, the third 1983-2003 cos of the nes/famicom and the forth 1987-2004 cos of the neo geo aes, some people may have a point that not *all* of the consoles have been discounied, but one console is not a major devolment period for any generation, and for that reason I am informing readers of this talk page that I shall edit it. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool ( talk) 14:50, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

The expandmenu functionality for this template seems to not work anymore. None of the menus show up open on pages that specify a specific menu to be open. Ithinkicahn ( talk) 04:12, 30 January 2014 (UTC)

Please add the line "Ninth-generation of home video game consoles 2020-present" below "Eighth-generation of home video game consoles 2012-present" and make a page for it. Triplettay ( talk) 02:07, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
Quick question, as it keeps changing, when did the 7th generation officially end? So far I've seen 2017 (which is likely meant to be when the Switch released), 2018 (I don't know why) and 2020 (which was when the last games for the system were published). So what is the mostly agreed upon year the 7th gen finished? Captain Galaxy 10:25, 9 October 2020 (UTC)

For the date range for the Sixth Generation of Video Game consoles, please change the dates from (1998–2005) to (1998–2013), as that's when the PlayStation 2 was discontinued. [1] 2601:249:9301:D570:14A2:9EB4:B98F:BF8D ( talk) 00:36, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
