message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Fifth generation of video game consoles's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Kent_493_496":
From Sega Genesis: 
From List of commercial failures in video gaming: 
From List of Sega 32X games: 
Reference named "Allgame32X":
From Sega Saturn: 
From Sega 32X: 
From Sega Genesis: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:28, 19 November 2015 (UTC)

message: Other articles in this series show systems that have multiple major revisions with the original forms of their controllers and then later forms. The first and second Genesis and SG-1000 vs Mark III/Master System for example. On this article though we only see the PlayStation with the DualShock controller, not the original D-Pad only version. The DualShock didn't come out until 3 years after the system launched. Wouldn't it be a good idea to replace the first image of the PlayStation from the Home systems area with one with the original controller?  Lando242 (talk) 03:21, 4 July 2016 (UTC)

message: from what I can tell, 3DO isn't really 3D, it sorta blurred the difference between movies and games, instead of displaying 3D, it displays FMV (full motion video) although CD Rom add ons and Philips CDI basically do the same thing, It even went out of its way to insult Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis calling them "Baby Toys" even though most people owned them and not many people owned a 3DO so it came and went and now is just a curious piece of history. 3Do was pretty rare and didn't sell very well  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rowbro (talk • contribs) 21:32, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: None of this changes which generation is occurred in or what reliable sourcing says. Do you have any sourcing that states it belongs to some other generation? If you make this disruptive edit again, you will likely be blocked. You've already been given final warnings for these disruptive unsourced edits. -- ferret (talk) 22:39, 29 November 2020 (UTC)

message: I like the idea of it, but both the Jaguar CD and the Nintendo 64 DD are essentially media readers and nothing more. There are a lot of holes in the table because of this. Before this I had included the 32x in the main hardware comparison table, and while I was pleased with it I understand if some think it didn't belong. In my opinion treating the 32x as the proto-saturn it is makes the main comparison table much more interesting.  PiersyPiersy (talk) 18:55, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
