I thought I'd stop posting the bottom 5 since their sales are pretty much too insignificant to matter. But if you really want to know, fine, I'll post them all next week. I didn't think anyone cared about them.

eh meaning what?

Localization meaning they get Japanese voiceovers and subtitles.

Censorship meaning games like GTA, dead rising and Gears of war get their content trimmed.

For example, the dead bodies hanging on trees in GOW don't have their innards showing in Japan.

In GTASA, some of the minigames have been removed, and you don't get money from people you run over.

And dead rising, supposedly, has had numerous cuts.

Hmm, not a big change, aside from Wii sales dipping quite a bit. PS3 is still around the same level, so is the PS2, the 360 dropped a bit, but overall it's doing pretty good in Japan compared to the original, we all knew that MS wasn't going to win in Japan, but this is a big improvment over the original Xbox.

How does DSlite continue to sell like this? Do they buy a DSlite, play a game on it, then throw it away to buy a new one?

Last I heard, 1 in 10 people in Japan own a DS.

Nintendo still has 9 out of 10 people to go :laugh:

I think the reality is that a whole bunch is being exported to China.

    • Epic Games says Unreal Engine 6 will help developers "build content faster" using AI models by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Epic Games is rolling out the latest major update to Unreal Engine 5 today, and at the same time, the company also dropped some information on the next-generation version of the product, Unreal Engine 6. This was already revealed a few weeks ago alongside the new Rocket League upgrade reveal. The company says it is combining the features of Unreal Engine and Unreal Editor for Fortnite to create this new version of its popular media creation tool. On top of creating entire games, the new engine will also focus on letting developers operate large-scale live service titles more easily, whether by shipping content into their own ecosystems or into Fortnite. The use of large language models is also mentioned here, with Epic saying it will be a core part of the engine. "We see LLMs, generative AI models, and tools like Claude and Codex playing a central role in helping you build content faster while maintaining the creative control you need," adds the company. Here is the rundown of what's new about version 6 of Unreal Engine: With all these changes to the programming model, portability upgrades, and generative AI integration, Epic says the new version of the engine will "change a lot about how games are made." The company aims to ship Unreal Engine 6 into early access in late 2027, with a full release planned for 12-18 months later. Epic Games also dropped a lengthy blog post about the new Unreal Engine 5.8 update for game developers over here. The release is focused on delivering better performance, customization, and streamlined workflows for development teams. This will be the final major update for this version of the engine before Epic switches to focus fully on Unreal Engine 6's early access launch.
    • Watch Louis Rossmann's recent experience on YouTube about trying to get a warranty replacement from Samsung. It's crazy.
    • That is the thing, how many of these people don't realise they are using AI? If they use Google Search they have no choice but to use AI. So yes, maybe half of American adults do use and I expect a lot of Uk adults do to, but I bet most of them don't realise it. Myself, i avoid the rubbish.
    • They use FREE AI. They aren't paying for this meme-generating slopware...
    • Gotta' buy that there Rufus guy a beer if I ever meet him. He makes good stuff.
