Yeah, I support a trim for the 9th generation. Some things are too soon.
Content Warning: My posts may involve my actions dealing with R-rated or Not Safe For Work content. Same for my edit history.Bears mentioning that there is a draft for the 9th generation
, which could absorb some of the extra weight.
It's not exactly their purview, since it's not a work, but would it be worth bringing up in the Unreleased Work Page Cleanup (Speculation, Spoilers, Zero-Context, et al.)
forum thread?
We have a lot of push-back against the rule as-is. Technically, this is violating Examples Are Not Recent, anyway.
Link to TRS threads in project mode here.Altight, I did some trim to the 9th gen section and made a few corrections in other parts (and did my best to do a wrap up of the now-finished last handheld generation). Some more trimmings may be necessary, however, either there still or elsewhere (maybe both). I left a link to this query in my edit's reason.
135 -> 180 -> 273 -> 191 -> 188 -> 230 -> 300 -> 311

I really didn't want to resort to this, because since I edited this page for the first time I thought I could keep it clean to the largest extent possible, but in the midst of... certain controversies (such as Microsoft's buyout of Bethesda), it's no longer something I'll be able to handle alone.
Right now, the Console Wars page has a problem of what Wikipedia calls "undue weight". Whereas the first seven generations, and to a lesser extent the eighth, are covered appropiately, with each important aspect of them being touched upon with the necessary-yet-measured weight, the section for the ninth generation is already a big mess before the generation itself even started. The way I see it, at this early point only the most entirely general aspects should be covered, and any other details can wait until the generation starts to wind down. As of now, there's a recently added large paragraph just about Microsoft having bought Bethesda.
This wouldn't be a problem if all generation sections had this much detail, but that's not the case. Every single thing is being lumped in the 9th gen section as if we were sure it's going to be an absolute game changer. For one, it's too soon for us to truly gauge the impact of Bethesda being sold to Microsoft.
I propose a major trim to that section, only covering the truly relevant things, and the rest can come when we can definitely see the evolution of things. What do you guys think?
EDIT: I had submitted this query because I think the Bethesda thing was the straw that broke the camel's back, but it also gives undue weight to the whole controversy over the sequels to Spider Man and Horizon. Are we sure this will be something to be relevant over the years for the generation? It might cause some uproar, but it still looks like it'll be something purely situational, and of little-to-no importance to the widespread scope of the page's subject.
