Latest Japanese Hardware Sales


Recommended Posts

Everyone is saving now that they now the PS3 price :laugh:

As funny as you may find it, there might be some truth to that. I don't think this can be related to people saving up for Playstation 3. Rather, the building anticipation of the new console (along with the Wii, of course) is probably driving the interest of current gen consoles down. I don't know how this applies to the handheld market though hehe..do you reckon there were shortage problems? Or maybe every Jap that wanted a DS already has one :p

Well Microsoft should forgot Japan IMHO.. japanese people are oriental culture and NEVER will support a foreigner product that themselves compete..

Nobody buys Chevrolet cars in Japan is you can get a Toyota.

Nobody buys RCA TV in Japan if you can get a TOSHIBA.

Nobody buys Ducatti is you can get HONDA.

Nobody buys PHILIPS if you can get Panasonic.

^^ Yeah, but Japan is a key market in the console industry, if Microsoft wants to win the console wars(wich I believe is their goal) they have to at least appease this market.

They should be there but I don't see why Japan is any more important than the N. America or Europe markets.

Yeah, but if your talking about why they get special packages and such its because they haven't won that part over so they are going to try different /cheaper/value packages. It wouldn't make sense to cater to markets where you are already enjoying success because it costs the company money.

They should jus let it leave be. And focus on getting more consoles in homes everywhere else. And then the Japanese will follow suit. Because developers will see the huge install base and will create games for the system for profit. Which in turn sells more consoles. They can also start to buy out all the Japanese companies and that will destroy competition.

Only an idiot will choose Chevy over Toyota.

An idiot will choose RCA over Toshiba.

Dont know Ducati but IMO Honda is one of the top auto makers along with Toyota.

If I remember correctly, wasn't Philips going to install a chip to force commercials on us... Ya Panasonic is way better.

SO there you have it, If you own country produces better product, why on earth would you buy an inferior import ( now that would be stupid ).

Honda over Ducatti?? Keep dreaming buddy.

^^ he probably didn't realise it is a motorcycle manufacturer so give him a break.

As for the 360 in Japan, i think they should definitely be trying to get into that market, its a very profitable one with gaming a very large industry not only in japan but the world. remember japan is the 2nd largest economy in the world, has a considerable population. since they have such a small user base there the opportunities are great if they can break into the market.

    • You're absolutely right! No reason in hell these should be on the road!
    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case.
