Latest Japanese Hardware Sales


Recommended Posts

The PS3 continues its downwards trend quite rapidly, not even selling a third anymore of what the Wii sells :laugh:

The Psp seems to sharing the same fate now, selling only a third of what the DS Lite sells as well.

MS still needs to come up with a proper slogan and campaign for the X360 in Japan.

Exposing the fact that Xbox360 - 2,910 might nullify your theory. The Playstation 3 is definitely not selling as well as the Wii (hell, the Wii is pure dominance at it's finest against any console)... but let's not forget the 360's numbers over there shall we? Do honestly think just a mere slogan would do the trick? :p

Do the Japanese eat DS's for breakfast?!

+1 :laugh:

I'm surprised to see the 360 go up to nearly 4,000. I expected the PS3 sales to drop some (as well as the 360), but the PS2 seems to be selling very well for an 8-year-old console. I just wish I invested in Nintendo about a year or so ago on the Nikkei exchange.

Well, the DSL did drop under 100,000, I don't remember the last time I saw it under that. The Wii fell a bit also, under 60,000 but still going strong. The PS3 is still in it's stedy decline, though that gundam game did help it a bit, once that faded it right back to the 16,000s. 360 seems to be getting a little boost, maybe from all the news of games like DMC4, AC4 and so on not being PS3 exclusive anymore. I think when you just wanna play these games and don't care about the name of the system you play them on, then price is the only factor. With the 360 being cheaper a small but stedy % of buyers pick it up over the expensive PS3.

Weird, the only 3 gaming devices that got a raise where the PSP, PS3 and more shockingly the Game Boy Micro. The rest went down.

What the hell happened this week?

Umm.. The Xbox 360 went up.

    • 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.

    • 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
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
