Latest Japanese Hardware Sales


Recommended Posts

Well done PSP!

You're like a rollercoaster with the DS though, one week on top, next below, two weeks on top, three weeks below :laugh:

GoW is out as well, that might have helped boost sales!

ps3 sales are sub-par in japan based on the lack of japanese titles. sure theres tons of maddens, racing, anything ea makes. but you can get that on *any* console. so they will go for wii. they need to put out titles that will attract the masses. unfortunately there isnt much being put out in japan for the big players(360/ps3) that will attract people to a more expensive console.

wii has some decent games.

portables of course will always sell wonderful. wii just puts something new on the market for all age groups. ps3 and 360 are just boring for casual gamers. no one wants to spend tons of money on a huge system if they have no intentions of doing much but play a few games.

not saying any of the systems are failures. though ps3 isnt exactly as appealing, but ill eventually pick one up and probably a 360. but for now my psp and ds take up my time. with occasional wii'ing.

portable is in. oversized systems aren't.

wii is special!!!!!!!!

Uhh... which ones are the right ones?

Audioboxer posted Famitsu numbers, mine were Media-Create (which are the ones that usually get posted here). Famitsu numbers come a day or so before M-Create, but I've heard M-Create should be a bit more accurate. Either way the numbers aren't too different.

    • 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
