I'll say this a better reason for that spike in sales... :shifty: :whistle:

PROJECT SYLPHEED

on sale 2006-09-28

Actually, Dead Rising outsold Project Sylpheed for the week. That's not bad considering the game appartently isn't being displayed in retail stores in Japan because of its mature rating. In fact, if it wasn't for the Pokemon games, Dead Rising would've actually cracked the top 10 in software sales in Japan. :o

I thought the SP had been selling in the high 1,000s but it was the high 2000s. Oops. :blush:

And as Mojo said, Dead Rising came out over there. I guess it was enough to give the 360 a small boost.

small, thats a big boost. almost doubled

Yeah, it reached 100,000 in the last week of March. It's probably around the 150,000 mark right now.

yeah it's around there now, i'm shocked that so many ps2s still sell. I mean seriously doesn't everybody have one at this point.

DS sells to age and gender markets that were unaccessable until it came along.

Even my mother plays games like brain age and tetris.

It is predicted to sell 20 million set this fiscal year, but there are plenty more people without a DS in the targeted market.

What a coup for nintendo.

Doesn't everyone in Japan own a PS2 by now, i mean honestly why are so many still being sold. Is it people replacing their broken ones, or just buying them for the sake of keeping sony ahead, I can't understand it

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By M. Murcek · Posted

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
