im astounded that so many PSPs are sold each week. it's amazing! they must buy a new unit for each new game that's released. :p

We don't know how many of them are buying a 2nd or 3rd one due to the first one breaking or getting lost etc. I bet a large number of them just got washed away by the tsunami for example. At some point in the future people will buy a new one etc.

What the actual ****?

What?

Firstly, the events happened on the 10th, we haven't had any new sales readings yet, so that hasn't affected them. Nobody will give two hoots about buying games consoles right now and also we might not even get values for the past week or two.

I know that, the reference was an example used to show that people replace things and that those numbers aren't all "new" first time buyers. No need to get so heated.

This is true for everything in life though, not just Sony products, and I don't know why a Tsunami is needed to point such a thing out?

It was a replay to a comment about PSP sales, I wasn't singlling them out so calm down. Was the tsunami reference needed? Maybe not, but I used it anyways. The point is the same.

Kinect Beaten by Move Beaten by Torne

Who says peripherals don't sell? Not Sony for sure! PlayStation 3's Torne DVR attachment sold 784,000 units last year (through January 2) according to data in a Media Create market report (passed along at this blog).

Torne was released in March of last year. The device connects to your PS3 to give the system digital video recording abilities with a speedy PS3-powered interface.

There were some early hints of success, with some news outlets reporting half a million units by October. Sony has been pushing the product heavily through advertisements, firmware updates and hardware bundles. The 784,000 figure includes bundle sales.

Of course, some may not consider Torne an actual peripheral as it doesn't really have much to do with games. Media Create also provided sales for two more traditional peripherals: Kinect and PlayStation Move. Kinect sold 90,000 units. Move sold 170,000 units. Both figures include bundles.

Media Create also reported sales of 97,442 units for Nintendo's red Mario 25th anniversary Wii system.

Ouch!

I guess that's why Japan is irrelevant :rofl:

Compared to the rest of the industry, yup, sure is. I find it amusing that instead of having logical discussions, you insist don't back up your claims, and you instead troll other topics.

No peck, trolling is saying that Japan sales don't count just because xbox doesn't sell well. Posting sales numbers that show how bad a system is selling over seas is just putting everything into a better perspective. Don't get mad.

That's not even remotely close to what I said.

I am not mad in regards to the sales of the Xbox 360 in Japan. If I were, don't you think I'd be responding to almost every post in this topic, since the Xbox 360 has never sold well in Japan? No, I took issue with Audioboxer yet again dragging his trolling from one topic to another -- a pattern you seem to enable him to do by following him around and attempting to lend credence to his posts by simply reiterating everything he says.

Don't tell me not to get mad when you two insist on trolling frequenters of the Gamer's Hangout, which yes, is the issue no matter how hard you attempt to reframe it. I don't see where anyone has said the Xbox 360 hasn't lost in Japan. I fully concede that it has. My point in the other post was that Japan is not a large market, and the success or failure of a console in Japan really means almost nothing to the overall success or failure of a console worldwide, especially in comparison to other markets. I will post my response after I take a shower (just got back from my morning run -- don't want you to think I'm dodging the issue).

Japan is one of the largest single territories, it saved the PSP. But of course a company can still do well without it, but it's still a factor. Anyhow, sales:

    • A different thing with Russia. When you say is it better, depends on things. It is better that we don't have the E.U making rules and laws that have nothing to do with them. Is the trading part better? No, that is really mucked up, but then we knew that was going to happen and we would have make agreements, like we do with other parts of the world. Freedom of movement is certainly better, but could be improved, we still need more control over our borders. do you live in the U.K?
    • So what am I quoting from them? I never listened to what Farage or his cronies said. I wanted the U.K to leave the E.u years before the referendum and it had nothing to do with Farage and his cronies. So what country do you live in? Did we work much better together? We were always at logger heads with the E.U because we disagreed with them so much. Maggie was always on at them. I would have thought the E.U was glad to get rid of us as we stopped the integration or made it a two tier. Now without us they can integrate more. I would not have voted out if it was just a trading block and we can still work together on somethings.

    • Apple reportedly looks to blacklisted Chinese memory chips as RAM prices climb by Karthik Mudaliar Image via Apple Apple is reportedly trying to get a clearance from the Trump administration to buy memory from ChangXin Memory Technologies (CXMT) to get some relief from soaring DRAM prices. As per a report by the Financial Times, Apple approached the Commerce Department more than a month ago and also spoke to other officials and allies in Washington. For starters, CXMT is a company that's already been placed on the Pentagon's list of Chinese military companies. The Chinese company is the country's top DRAM maker. For Apple, the timing is certainly awkward but not surprising. Tim Cook had recently warned that Apple would have to raise prices because AI companies are buying up large amounts of memory for data centers, and just like that, Apple raised MacBook and iPad prices. Micron also recently revealed that customers have committed billions of dollars to secure memory supply years in advance, which shows us how aggressive securing infrastructure has become. This gives suppliers such as Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron more leverage, while pushing hardware makers to look for alternatives. CXMT is one of those alternatives, but not the simplest one. Apple has spent many years trying to diversify parts of its supply chain away from China, especially for final assembly, while still depending heavily on Chinese manufacturing and suppliers. Even domestic brands from China are moving towards CXMT and YMTC instead of relying on Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix. For Apple, though, it would invite more scrutiny than local Chinese companies. For now, this is more like a lobbying effort rather than a confirmed supply deal. There's no official statement from either of the parties. What is clearer, though, is the pressure behind such a request. AI demand has certainly made hardware a bottleneck, and companies are trying everything they can to bring things back to normal, even if that means making politically sensitive choices.
