• 23:0023:00, 4 December 2024 diff hist −543 Fourth generation of video game consoles More Kent nonsense. While NOA certainly fretted a little about timing of release due to the market bot yet being mature, the Japanese Famicom market peaked in 1986, and the Super Famicom was unveiled in 1988. It would have released in 1989 in Japan if not for design issues. current

NPD and other analyst estimates peg 1993 as the year Sega took a 55% to 45% lead in the market.

• 05:0205:02, 4 December 2024 diff hist −18 List of best-selling video games Revert good faith edit. This list is woefully incomplete due to a lack of reliable industry-wide sales tracking. This is why number rankings are omitted, because the 9th game on this list, for example, is likely not the 9th bestselling game of all time, but having the number implies it is. Tag: Manual revert

• 18:4918:49, 3 December 2024 diff hist −606 Console war Nintendo's Japanese contracts were not based on exclusivity; that was something started by Nintendo of America. Few people made games for the Mark III because no one is going to bother with a system with that miniscule a market share (plus other Japanese corporate politics based on relationships rather than formal contracts.)
• 17:4917:49, 3 December 2024 diff hist −19 Console war This is not about rewriting Wikipedia's use of generations, and you will note I left the generational concept in my revision. This article is about console wars, and those are "waged" within the core years of the lifetimes of the competing consoles, and in fact cross generations sometimes ("Genesis Does" was aimed at the NES, for example). And either way, defining our generations as possessing similar technology is inaccurate no matter how you slice it for the previously stated reasons. Tag: Manual revert
• 16:1916:19, 3 December 2024 diff hist −19 Console war Two problems. First, a generation is not a function of the market. Now that only three companies release consoles they tend to drop in close proximity to each other, but prior to 2005, consoles came out whenever a company felt it could seize an advantage and do not fit neatly into generations, which are an imperfect historical classification. Second, this definition of generations is wrong. Saying a Wii and a PS3 or a Jaguar and a PlayStation have similar technical specifications is not accurate Tag: Reverted

• 17:3717:37, 9 November 2024 diff hist −971 Video game crash of 1983 This is not an accurate interpretation of events. The coin-op crash was a separate event that started and ended earlier than the console market crash. The factors destroying the Atari market had no impact on this. If anything, it was the other way around, as a lack of megahits in the arcade in 1983 left little interesting to port into the home.

• 04:5304:53, 29 October 2024 diff hist 0 Pete Rose Per the talk page, the Reds only wore this style of uniform between 1968 and 1971, making it nearly impossible for this picture to have been taken in 1972. I don't believe we have full provenance for this image, which came from a 1972 baseball card. Baseball cards commonly feature player pictures taken in a different year than the release year of the card. Unless better provenance is discovered, this is the best we can do.
