Talk:Console manufacturer


 * wrong*

"the PlayStation 3 is perhaps the most difficult (and the Wii the easiest) to develop for[citation needed]."

as a developer. I agree that the ps3 is the most difficult (its sdk is poorly documented, for one thing) but in my opinion i find the 360 the easiest to develop for. In fact, its very easy for PC (windows) games to be ported to the 360, than to a console such as the wii. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.16.160.17 (talk) 20:54, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

This is original research and opinionated (e.g. about which ones are easiest and hardest to develop for (see point above). Needs complete rewrite. --Stfg (talk) 19:36, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Merge into Video game console
This article was tagged to be merged into Video game console, but user:Ferret thinks this should be talked about first, so, let's talk about it ;) Mevo Wiki (talk) 19:12, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I've removed the old tag from 2011, since a discussion had never been opened. Before doing this merger, you need to propose it and give your rationale for the merger. -- ferret (talk) 19:15, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think a merge is really necessary, just like there is no need to merge Console game and Video game console emulator etc to Video game console. --Cartakes (talk) 19:47, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree that it is not REALLY necessary, and this article can maybe stay alone.Mevo Wiki (talk) 19:56, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Then stay with it and maybe improve its contents. --Cartakes (talk) 19:58, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok, let's do that. There's something else and it seems you may be the one to talk to about it Cartakes. The article Home video game console is a duplicate of video game console. It was at first a redirection, and it seems you changed that (by copy/pasting "video game console' ?) Or we ended another way to 2 almost identical articles, it's not the important. It makes sense to me to make Home video game console a redirection to video game console again. Or something else should be done, but my concern is that changes made to one article are NOT done to the other one, which is a bad thing. I compared the 2 and right now, "Home video game console" has NOTHING to extract from that "Video game console" doesn't already have.
 * Or a new specific article should be written for HOME consoles ? What do you think about it ? Mevo Wiki (talk) 20:20, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Interestingly enough, it seems that Ferret and you had a little fight in november 2014 about the creation of this article according to history. What do we do to NOT have a duplicate like we have now ?Mevo Wiki (talk) 20:27, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * I'd say try to focus on contents rather than editors. More detailed information on Home video game consoles may be a good solution. --Cartakes (talk) 20:42, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

There was a great deal of discussion about 8 months ago on the organisation of these articles and the templates that go with them. What probably needs to happen is that excessive detail in Video game consoles should be trimmed and removed, while Home video game consoles keeps the more detailed information. -- ferret (talk) 20:30, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
 * Agree with this proposal. --Cartakes (talk) 20:42, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
