thread_title: Move discussion in progress

message: I have never heard of this console before, and I'm an obsessed hobbyist. It does not belong as a peer of the main consoles of the sixth generation (dreamcast/PS2/xbox/gamecube), it should be in the section for "other consoles".
The reasons for this:
  * Lack of recognition.
  * Lack of popularity or wide distribution at time of release.
  * Extremely cheap at release, far less than normal for a new console.
  * Lack of third party support for games.
  * Very unimpressive hardware, more suited to the mid 1990s, not the early to mid 2000s.
  * Citations often go to sales oriented page, or a different wiki style site, and are wrong (1kb ram can't be possible).
In summary, this is not a "real" game console, and the sudden inclusion of it on wikipedia along with the offerings by billion dollar corporations smells more like advertising by the manufacturer (who still sells it). Unless somebody objects, I'll remove it from the main table. If this is a peer of the big four, then so are a dozen other bargain bin fillers like the hyperscan or some of the many wii clones.

I don't know what to put as bullet points in this article or the Seventh Gen and Eighth Gen.  Though I will add some hidden text in each.  Thanks a lot! Houdinipeter (talk) 22:34, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

message: Currently there seems to be no citation for this being a 6th generation console, I would argue, given that this machine is defined by its focus on motion control based game play, which was a characteristic of the 7th generation, that it would be better placed there. It seems as if it was almost like a proto dedicated Wii Sports console in a lot of ways. Its also quite late for a 6th generation console, though I understand release date isn't one of the primary concerns when placing consoles 2A00:23C5:D42B:9500:ADE8:5CD9:5D97:224F (talk) 13:35, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The who what now? It doesn't belong in any generation article as it's not really a recognized home video game console. More of a dedicated focused fitness device. "Release during the era of" doesn't really mean it's recognized as being part of a given generation of consoles, which deals more with a market perspective. -- ferret (talk) 15:16, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're arguing it should be removed from this page and not added to any generation? I'm not totally opposed to its removal to be honest, as you say it doesn't really fit in with any of the generations, least of which this one IMO, its just that from what I've seen Wikipedia categorises pretty much every console in a generation regardless of whether it was a mainstream gaming machine or not (the V.Smile for example is also in this article as a 6th generation console and that was basically an educational toy.) 2A00:23C5:D42B:9500:ADE8:5CD9:5D97:224F (talk) 21:06, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I literally thought it wasn't on the page at all, cause you called it Xavixport. It appears to be listed as "Xavix Interactive" instead. If so, it fits here if anywhere, but really no sources call it a sixth generation console. It simply was released during that time frame. -- ferret (talk) 21:12, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

message: I checked the GameCube discontinuation source via the Wayback Machine and it seems that Nintendo ended Production for the GameCube with NOA's Vice President of marketing Perrin Kaplin saying that they wouldn't be producing anymore GameCubes but still having some inventory left for people to purchase. the system was discontinued in February 22, 2007 Justthat1guyinwiki (talk) 01:39, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Unfortunately, that's not the case. MCV's statements from Kaplin were published on February 22, 2007. Manufacturing had ended before that. He was speaking in past terms, not making an announcement.
