These pages are borderline nonsense. They are written with a heavily biased slant and in many cases completely misrepresent the hardware and capabilities of all the systems they cover. They are the source of massive amounts of misinformation and really have no business being on these wikis. They misrepresent software solutions for hardware specs, stretch the truth to absurd levels, or just flat out make things up. They read like they were written by someone who's not qualified to explain how one of the systems works, let alone the 10+ systems they try to cover.

These pages are borderline nonsense. They are written with a heavily biased slant and in many cases completely misrepresent the hardware and capabilities of all the systems they cover. They are the source of massive amounts of misinformation and really have no business being on these wikis. They misrepresent software solutions for hardware specs, stretch the truth to absurd levels, or just flat out make things up. They read like they were written by someone who's not qualified to explain how one of the systems works, let alone the 10+ systems they try to cover.

Actual developers look at these pages and want to know what systems these specs came from because they're certainly not from any system Sega ever designed. These pages cause problems in the homebrew community because it leads people to think these systems can do things they flat out can't do and it just causes headaches. In all honesty these pages have no place in a wiki that is just to be documenting and presenting the facts from a non-biased stance. They simply exist to stroke someones ego over a console war that ended decades ago.

I would honestly recommend just deleting these comparison pages as they provide little to no valuable information that is actually accurate. The amount of time required to get them to be accurate and unbiased honestly outweighs any benefit they could provide as at the end of the day it's very much an apples to oranges comparison.
