Talk:Comparison of handheld game consoles

message: Why are the units (MB, MHz) right next to the numbers (64, 128)? shouldn't there be a space between them? I agree that in some cases it looks cleaner, but in others it looks too closely packed. What's the deal with this? -mysekurity 04:25, 31 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Once this article is exhaustive, I think it would be a good Featured list candidate. I just nominated List of commercial failures in computer and video gaming there, please comment on that too. Jacoplane 17:17, 2 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Featured list 

message: I think the Game & Watch should be recognized in this list, as was essentially one of the first "portable" gaming machines.
:Technically, it's not a handheld gaming console, as defined by that parent page. Each G&W only plays the game built into it, instead of playing multiple games. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 18:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  What about the Game & Watch?

message: How are the tables currently organized? It looks like Nintendo's consoles are listed first; I can't make sense of the rest. Should they be organized by release date? Joshfist 04:22, 2005 August 8 (UTC)
:If someone wants the daunting task of rearranging the tables according to release date, go right ahead. Havok 07:33, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Organization of tables? 

message: What has determined, if anything, the form of the names used?  Some have manufacturers (Atari Lynx, Nokia N-Gage), others not. -shuri 11:35, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Names 

message: I was wondering if the Pocket Famicom counts as a handheld console, despite being a handheld hardware clone of the Famicom, and being illegal (becuase it was an unliscensed Nintendo product). Just wanted to make sure; if it belongs in the list I'll add it. --gakon5 (talk) 21:48, August 10, 2005 (UTC)
:According to the article Nintendo sued the company that makes this product and lost, so I don't think it's illegal. So if that's true, I see no problem in adding it to the list. Perhaps you should wait for more feedback though. Jacoplane 22:44, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

message: would it be logical at all to include objective comparisons of the popularity, both in the past and present of these systems? Lockeownzj00 16:12, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: If anyone wants to write objective about the different handhelds, they should go right a head. Would be cool to see what people can come up with. ;) Havok 17:43, 11 August 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  more than tables 

message: The page presents an error and then loads with the error in the background at the top:
"Warning: rename(/mnt/upload/wikipedia/en/thumb/a/ad/120px-390px-Gp32-flu.jpg,/mnt/upload/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1e/390px-Gp32-flu.jpg/120px-390px-Gp32-flu.jpg): Not a directory in /usr/local/apache/common-local/php-1.5/includes/Image.php on line 970"
Sombody will want to have a look at that.  I don't know enough to really understand what it means, but I'm assuming it has to do with a gallery picture.  Just for reference, I'm running Mozilla Firefox 1.0.6 on Ubuntu Linux 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog Release).  --Matt 09:15, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Errors 

message: I note that the Gizmondo is listed as having a release date in the future (as I write this), yet it has been on sale in the UK for several months. I can only assume that the date given is the U.S. release date, but that's hardly the first public release. 
This makes we wonder how many of the other public release dates are U.S.-centric. 
I suggest that either the dates be amended to the actual public release (i.e., first availability to the public anywhere), or some more detailed scheme be used.  At the very least, I suggest that the country or region that the date applies to be stated, along with information about whether that specific date was also the first release anywhere.

replies: text: One possibility might be to list the first English-language release, whereever in the world it is.  I think listing every regional release might be impractical, and non-English-language release dates could be misleading. - A Man In Black (Talk | Contribs) 00:17, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Does "public release date" mean "American release date"? 

message: Please look on your page, where is stated (about GBA [SP]) that it has Z80 processor running with speed about 4-5 MHz, but on page about GBA is stated that it's 8-9 MHz CPU!
I've heard about two of these speeds but I don't know which was used in this console. If it has to be 100% compatible I would be almost sure that it has identical parameters like one originally used in GB - and then (I'm sure in about 99,9%) there were available only slower ones!

thread_title:  Proposed merge and extra section 

message: Release date for GP32 (specified as "June 2004") is incorrect. It has been around since at least 2001. And its discontinued.
Also this chart ---> 
is misleading. Gamepark and Gamepark Holdings are seperate companies and should be treated as such.
I don't know how to modify chart templates :( Spacecoyote17 07:52, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The iPod Touch mainly, but by proxy including the iPhone are now considered "Handheld Game Devices" I believe they should be added into the comparison .

message: I personally found this article very interesting, comparing all the technical stats from the various handhelds.  But I can appreciate it was under cited. ShadyCrack (talk) 15:54, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, but everything must be sourced on Wikipedia and sooooo much of this is not sourced. It's a common problem on Wikipedia, because reliable sources (in the Wikipedia definition) rarely goes into hard tech info like this. A lot if what was able to be sourced is covered at the current redirect target, albeit in a different organizational format. Sergecross73 msg me 20:00, 28 February 2023 (UTC)
