Was gonna say maybe the 360 numbers are down to due the supposed hardware shortage, but Tales of Vesperia ain't even in the top 10 anymore :(

Well, maybe all the people with 360s bought ToV already and since there are no more 360s left there is no reason to pick up ToV?

People won't really buy a game if they don't have a console to play it on! I do hope sales increase onces MS gets supply back in stock in September but I guess its a missed opportunity.

However, ToV may have peaked already, who knows, we'll have to wait and see when stocks come back in!

Maybe they sold all the copies they had ready? I mean 110k or so isn't a bad number really. Everyone makes big noise when you hit 1mil+ but those aren't all the games. Lots are in the green with just 500k sold depending on how much it cost to make.

Afrika's first week numbers aren't so bad. I'm still amazed this is a Japanese exclusive. Seems everyone bar the DSL is down though, and even then the DSL is only up by 444 units. Mixed bag in the software section, too. Sony/Nintendo going 50/50.

Did Sony announce the PSP-3000 too early? Shortages finally hitting the 360? Will Wii Fit ever stop selling? Hmm.

These numbers probably take into account the shortages they've talked about. We'll see how they stack up next week. They should have new stock in by then to account for things.

Almost...

Holy ****, nearly a million copies of diamond sold in a week. Insane.

And is it not pretty much identical to the other DS versions minus some tweaks? :rofl:

Pokemon fans are nuts!

Actually I heard there's quite a few more differences in this version compared to the differences in the other "third game" generations. Don't know how true this is, the only time I've bought more then 1 version of Pokemon in the same generation was the first (and I bought all 3, and regret buying blue when I already had red and yellow).

    • In addition to the "sidebar app list" and "Collections" features, Microsoft will also deprecate the "Drop" feature. Before you publish this news and credit another site, here is the original source: https://x.com/i/status/2067838711870439583 .
    • Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.
    • You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?
