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.

    • So its a museum of AI prompts? Boring
    • This one baffles me...so they are creating a museum based around the Ship of Theseus? A museum is supposed to preserve things. It doesn't really work if the conversation goes, "I gazed upon Starry Night the other day, the colours were beautiful!" "Yeah...I didn't expect Godzilla to show up, though." Create a building devoted to displaying AI work, fine. The rainforest idea sounds interesting and I would consider visiting if they pay me a few bucks. But don't call it a museum...
    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.
    • As long as i get to play GTA 6 before it ends 😂😂
    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
