 ====== 7th Generation ======
+The 7th generation of home game consoles, commonly considered as having began during 2005 and 2006 (release of all 3 main systems), and ending anywhere between 2012 (release of the Wii U) and 2017 (year in which the PS3 was discontinued), or possibly even during 2019/2020 (release of final game titles on Wii and PS3). As one can likely tell, the 7th generation was the first generation to truly last absolute ages, with the 360 having been actively produced for over a decade, while both the PS3 and Wii received similar production lifespans. It was also the first generation to have an important impact when it comes to EOPs, as the PS3's EOPs (and eventual removal of them in the OtherOS debacle) became relevant enough to garner much news attention and a class action lawsuit.

 ===== Mattel HyperScan =====
+Mattel's second console, with their first being the Intellivision. Releasing on October 23rd, 2006 in the USA, the HyperScan was universally hated for it's clunky and pay-to-win esque card-based game content systems, poor build quality, and lack of interesting games. Coming with a very basic Sunplus SPG290 CPU+GPU SoC, 16 MB of RAM, and a resolution of 640x480 at up to 65535 colors, nobody was surprised to see the HyperScan fail without any sort of followup.

 === Operating Systems (Sunplus SPG290 SoC) ===

+== Linux? ==
-Apparently this chip supports Linux. Lots of discussion, plus basic homebrew for this.. that’s it
+The CPU this console uses can theoretically run Linux. Furthermore, a few very basic pieces of homebrew have been created for the device, amounting to nothing of practical note, only technical interest.
