• 16:2416:24, 12 June 2024diff hist −87‎ Star Cruiser (1988 video game)‎ Google does not distinguish between two-word and compound word terms all the time, if you search for "Star Cruiser" (in quotes) most of the hits on the first page have not much to do with the theme park attraction because that is actually a misspelling. I agree, however, that the game is pretty obscure. Also, we actually have an article on a second game of that name, so I moved this article to a new name. Now we can make Star Cruiser as disambig. Far more helpful.currentTag: Manual revert

• 15:1515:15, 12 June 2024diff hist −87‎ Star Cruiser (1988 video game)‎ It shares practically none of the same name, in fact technically none of it since one is two words and one is a compound word. Are you putting this heading on every video game that has "Star Wars" in the title too? Because any of those share just as much of the title.Tags: Manual revert Reverted

• 07:3907:39, 24 May 2024diff hist −454‎ Console war‎ Sure, the VCS and Intellivision were fierce competitors between 1980 and 1983, but a French company that calls itself Atari because of an asset purchase a few decades ago and a licensing company that calls itself Intellivision Entertainment because no one else could be bothered to exploit the IP in the late 1990s are not competitors at all, and the former buying some rights from the latter has nothing to do with ending a marketshare fight that was done and dusted 40 years ago.

• 15:1515:15, 30 April 2024diff hist +16‎ Fifth generation of video game consoles‎ A large number of console releases does not make for a fragmented market. Most of them barely sold, and the PlayStation took the vast majority of the marketshare.
• 15:1315:13, 30 April 2024diff hist +6‎ Fifth generation of video game consoles‎ “War” is just a wee bit melodramatic
• 15:1215:12, 30 April 2024diff hist −41‎ Fifth generation of video game consoles‎ FF7 was never in active development on the N64. They were exploring the system’s capabilities, but ultimately rejected it.

• 14:4714:47, 30 April 2024diff hist −422‎ CD-i‎ That article is full of atrocious errors and should not be used as a source.
• 07:4607:46, 30 April 2024diff hist −412‎ Fourth generation of video game consoles‎ That article is a travesty I thought expunged from Wikipedia long ago due to multiple provable examples of incorrect figures. Best guess from currently available sources is 7.7 million (6 million Japan, 1.7 million US). That may miss a few Japanese sakes but probably inflates U.S. figures as some of those are likely sell-in rather than sell through.
• 07:2507:25, 30 April 2024diff hist −207‎ TurboGrafx-16‎ As before, it reportedly set a new Japanese record for sales of a console in its first year, besting the Famicom’s performance in 1983. It did NOT outsell the Famicom in 1987. Reliable sources have the Famicom outselling the PC Engine to the tune of 1.78 million to 600,000.

• 07:1407:14, 30 April 2024diff hist −554‎ TurboGrafx-16‎ This is a long-standing falsehood due to mistranslation of Japanese sources. There are TONS of contemporaneous sources for Japanese console sales, and none show the PC Engine outselling the Famicom in 1987. However, Japanese sources did like to talk about how the PC Engine sold more in its debut year (1987) than the Famicom did in its debut year (1983). This accomplishment was misreported in the west.
• 07:0807:08, 30 April 2024diff hist −889‎ Console war‎ Rumors and vague marketing statements have no place in an encyclopedia article.
• 07:0607:06, 30 April 2024diff hist −355‎ Console war‎ Not particularly noteworthy to the subject of the article. Funny though.
• 07:0507:05, 30 April 2024diff hist −384‎ Console war‎ While some Kotaku articles are considered reliable, this is a slideshow listicle and so really is not. Also, the claim is just silly: Sony was relying on first-party exclusives like God of War and Uncharted long before the PS4.
• 07:0107:01, 30 April 2024diff hist −410‎ Console war‎ Well that is a meaningless statistic. I bet if you combined Sony and Nintendo’s marketshare you would get a similar figure. Sony has left Microsoft so far behind on hardware sales that Microsoft is approaching the market in a completely different manner. Not much of a war, at least not in the way this article tries to characterize it.
• 06:5806:58, 30 April 2024diff hist −284‎ Console war‎ There’s that silly case study textbook again. While the performance of Sony and Microsoft hardware is generally comparable, technological differences have played a big role in their competition many times, including in the current generation.
• 06:5306:53, 30 April 2024diff hist −464‎ Console war‎ A book review is not a high-quality source. Pretty sure Sega did not pull ahead in the U.S. until 1993, but even if I am wrong, this claim needs a real source to back it up.
• 06:4206:42, 30 April 2024diff hist −479‎ Console war‎ Aside from the fact that dwelling on the freezing glitch is excessive for an article on market battles, it was the best selling system by far in 1983 to, so not sure what this “by the end of 1984” stuff is about.
• 06:3906:39, 30 April 2024diff hist −26‎ Console war‎ I mean, every programmable console across the first three “generations” was 8-bit, so singling it out in this way makes little sense.
• 06:3406:34, 30 April 2024diff hist −20‎ Console war‎ Need a much better source than what appears to be a textbook of case studies to make this exceptional claim. I am not an economist, but the video game industry does not appear to meet the definition of an oligopoly, because while there are a limited number of participants their are usually quite different from each other and thus lack the homogeneity required. That said, I really am not an economist, so if better sourcing can be found, feel free to restore.

If you had bothered reading the article instead of merely skimming the lead, you would know this is sourced in the body to a 1993 New York Times article, which can’t possibly be confusing a movie that would not exist for decades.
