Wow, two years ago the hardware database did not even exist, but some of you persisted and since October of 2006, we've had a hardware database. In the beginning, there were zero entries for this database. Truly it was something that would have to be nurtured into a viable database. Sure, growth of this database seems at time slow, but on the plus side it's still growing. That said, I am pleased as punch to inform the masses that our hardware database now has over 3000 records. For a database created from scratch, that's a huge accomplishment. I'd really like to thank lots of people for this achievement, but for now I'll just thank the three staff members that truly have made the hardware database what it is today - Marriott_guy, Tan, and Apolloboy - thanks. Of course, they are not the only people who have allowed for this occasion to occur, and I am certainly thankful for all the submissions that you, our community, has made for this database to reach this milestone. Thank you all for your help in getting to this point!

So, it took two years to get to 3000 hardware records... how long will it take to reach 6000? Here's looking forward to the continued health of our databases!

The party doesn't stop! Cheesy

3000 entries in the hardware database might seem little compared to the games database but is in fact a major milestone. Now for the 6000. Cheesy
 
Considering the hardware to games ratio, 3000 is an incredible number. I don't imagine we'll ever see past 5000-6000 when you think about how many pieces of hardware per system we already have. I estimate we have 75% or more of the main entries for each category already. The other 25% is mostly for rare or obscure systems or generic 3rd party peripherals. Smiley

Great work everyone, you've all made RF Generation one of the world's most comprehensive authorities for video game hardware in only 2 years!
 
@c2924: "The other 25% is mostly for rare or obscure systems"

Like the Prinztronic Tournament VC6000 that I haven't got round to adding yet. Tongue
 
@James:

Indeed, and the other 12+ variations that go with it. Smiley
