Create writing guideline for reception and sales sections

 * Draft: User:Glowsquid/Brain Palace

Another week, another writing guideline! Kids love those, right?

Anyway, the few sections about the critical and commercial performance of a given game have no consistent format and they are (as usual for "real world" subjects) rather weak. As such, I think it would be a good idea to create a guideline page to give an idea of how they should be organised and pointers on how to write them.

I've made a draft for such a guideline page here. I've been told it looks ok. What do you think?

Comments
Maybe we could use Wikipedia as inspiration as what to the reception section looks like? This looks nicely organized, and it has a great table to boot. Before y'all shoot me down for saying, "WE'RE NOT WIKI PEDIA BLAH BLAH BLAH" at least take my suggestion into consideration: there's a reason they do this and I don't see why not: I like the nicely organized table and I think it would improve the section more.

Split Nintendo 2DS from Nintendo 3DS
It's not the same console right? The Nintendo 2DS should have it's own article because it's a video game console.

 * 1) Per Proposal.
 * 2) - How is the lack of the iconic stereoscopic 3D technology of the Nintendo  3D S not a significant hardware difference? It seems pretty radical to me - a far cry from a mere change in size (GB Micro) or shape (GBA SP). Plus it got its own unique name, rather than having something affixed like the other remodels, and it's just plain interesting: readers could easily type in "Nintendo 2DS" in hopes we have a page - that hope is not unreasonable. Obviously the page won't have a list of games and whatnot, but Wikipedia's 2DS page is still pretty beefy without that sorta stuff, and we could easily make a read-worthy page here too.
 * 3) Per Walkazo.

Oppose

 * 1) The reason we split Nintendo DSi from Nintendo DS and Game Boy Color from Game Boy because they have significant hardware differences. The Nintendo 2DS is simply a redesign of the 3DS, much like the Game Boy Micro and Game Boy Advance SP from the Game Boy Advance and the Nintendo DS Lite from the Nintendo DS (my god I put too much links)
 * 2) Per Baby Luigi.
 * 3) Per Baby Luigi.
 * 4) Per Baby Luigi.
 * 5) It doesn't have many information, and like BLOF said: it is just a redesign, no changes in the hardware.
 * 6) Well, technically, it is the same console. Only a redesign, and no 3D. You can't say much about it in a separate article, anyway.
 * 7) Per Baby Luigi
 * 8) The premise of this proposal is "It's not the same console". The 2DS functionally is the same console, just lacking the obvious feature. It's as much of a separate system as the Wii mini.

Miscellaneous
None at the moment.
