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

    • Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns

      Most AI-powered mainframe migration vendors expected to fail by 2030, Gartner warns by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels You may have read that many companies still run code written in ancient programming languages like COBOL and pay a handsome sum for those who can maintain that code. Well, it looks like this area of the tech world could be the scene of an AI bubble. It turns out that there are mainframe exit vendors, helping companies move their legacy mainframe systems to modern cloud environments or servers such as Microsoft Azure and AWS, using generative AI tooling. Unfortunately, 75% of these vendors are now expected to pivot or cease operations as market realities take hold by 2030. Alessandro Galimberti from Gartner said: Some of the companies in the mainframe exit market are IBM, 21CS, BMC, Broadcom, Rocket Software, DXC, GTSG, and Kyndryl. The reasons some of these firms are expected to quit the market are a reset of market expectations and a decline in demand for one-size-fits-all migration solutions. The reset in expectations is likely to be driven by cost overruns and threats to business, and the potential occurrence of critical failures within businesses as a result of bad transition implementations. These insights from Gartner are pretty interesting because it’s a specific area of the market where doubt is being cast on generative AI. Many people have cast doubt on whether AI companies will successfully justify the massive amounts spent on GenAI to date, and this data from Gartner suggests the road could be rocky for GenAI.

      Heaven forbid they lose pennies from their Trillions! Like always, the consumer pays the most. Why is Tim Cooks even talking.....shouldn't he be packing up his office??

      If you have the budget...! Some solo or indies just want to either learn or start their game and aren't in a capacity to pay salaries or to contractors... Get real.
