Suggestion: New 'Game' Platform --> 'Hardware'

www.listal.com/search/games/1/?query=console

I've started renaming some of the console to make them fall into 'Hardware' platform, and if there are no major objections, I'd like to see Hardware become a new valid platform. Right now, it isn't until Tom activates it.

www.listal.com/hardware

The idea is to drop all console, as well as all those hundreds of console accessories, as well as PC peripherals, into 'Hardware' section. Its odd to see see consoles, memory card, wireless controllers and steering wheels appear in Top Rated and Top Owned GAMES lists. And by lumping them all into hardware, we can see a rough guide to which consoles are the most popular, and which accessories and controllers are top rated and top wanted across ALL platforms.

Also, many controllers and wheels are cross-platform compatible, which makes them hard to categorize into gaming platforms, but easy into a general 'Hardware' platform.

Im not going to rename any more.. just started with a few, and if there is no objection and Tom thinks its ok to set it up that way, I'll go thru all platforms and rename the most common ones all to 'Hardware'

Seems like a good idea but I've called it game hardware instead

Yeah I'm happy with this. Makes browsing through your games look nicer.

I've changed a few hardware items to game hardware myself.
