According to this article the 360 has 3D support. I have never heard of this before. I can not find a source for it either, and there is no mention of 3D on the 360's actual page. Can anybody back this claim up? DanielDPeterson + talk 11:23, 19 April 2012 (UTC)
This generation includes the Nintendo DS, which was launched in 2004, but the by generation section lists Seventh (2005–).
The same is true for the eighth being listed as (2012-) when the Nintendo 3DS launched in 2011. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.202.208.109 ( talk) 23:12, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
It is mentioned that the PlayStation 3's controller can be used in wired and wireless configurations. Though it is true you can connect the controller to the console to charge it, you are still technically connected through bluetooth. This can be done on Xbox 360 as well, using the "play and charge kit". The wired Xbox 360 controller uses a USB connection to function with the console, which is why it has become so popular as a PC input device as well.
This is fairly minor, but I thought it was worth pointing out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.153.138.98 ( talk) 20:29, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
In my opinion it would be relevant to mention (maybe even make a section about) the introduction during this seventh generation of the ubiquitous use and selling of downloadable content (DLC) by the developers and video game companies. /info/en/?search=Downloadable_content — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.83.82.226 ( talk) 22:02, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi guys,
This history article contains a great deal of non-history based information, and it's also very large. I've begun separating the non-history stuff into a parent article (the list of consoles, etc). I'm sure you'll agree that this is a much better idea than what I was thinking of a couple of weeks ago.

Should it be added to the Wii section now that it is being released in Europe as well as Canada? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guyb123321 ( talk • contribs) 17:36, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
It has been released here in USA as well. Shouldn't it be mentioned in the comparison chart, such as dimensions and weight? Here is an article for referencing http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2012/12/hardware_review_wii_mini Xeccos ( talk) 01:32, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Apparently the article is edited by Sony/Microsoft fanboys who are totally ignoring the international release of the Wii Mini. 2602:304:CFD3:2EE0:F088:37CF:DC5F:258E ( talk) 21:35, 14 July 2015 (UTC)
I'm sorry, but to me, I don't think that a game that come packaged with every console should count as a milestone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 101.160.16.143 ( talk) 09:54, 27 July 2013 (UTC)
As far as I know this console generation pretty much defined the term "next gen". I had never heard it before the Xbox 360 and/or PlayStation 3 were announced (at least in the context of game consoles) and the term was used to refer to this generation for many years (I'd argue that it was used far more often than "seventh generation"). Oddly enough it is not used in the article a single time. I think the article should mention that "next gen" is the term that was most commonly used for this generation for a long time, certainly by gamers and journalists. I am not sure how popular it was among publishers and developers. I would add it myself but considering that this is a huge and highly professional article I believe that there are reasons why it cannot be found here. I think someone else would be more qualified to add this piece of information (or provide a reason why the term should be completely excluded from the article - such as me being ignorant about the fact that it was actually used for earlier console generations). -- F4LL0UT ( talk) 19:44, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
I collect consoles and use the Wikipedia pages a lot. However, for me personally, there is a fair bit of confusion around the "other" consoles and I don't really understand them. - Are some of them simply online services like Steam, rather than consoles? - Do they all use online stores for games and - Do some of them share the same store (i.e. Google Play?) - Do any of them take separate roms (discs or cards) or anything? - Are they comparable hardware wise? I know these console generation pages get long, so extra sections may be unpopular, but could there be a link to a seperate "Other console" comparison page?

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:History of video game consoles (third generation) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — RMCD bot 01:59, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
