Latest Japanese Hardware Sales


Recommended Posts

Top 10 doesn't always tell the story. There are plenty of titles that continue to sell a few thousand here and there to new buyers outside of the first 10. Here are the HD games in the Top 50:

25. [PS3] Aquanaut's Holiday (SCEI)

32. [PS3] Trusty Bell: Chopin's Dream - Reprise (Namco Bandai)

33. [PS3] Cross Edge (Compile Heart)

49. [360] Tales of Vesperia (Namco Bandai)

After the Top 10, usually the differences in game sales are in the hundreds between each position, or even less.

What the hell you guys rattling on about.

Both consoles are selling like absolute **** in Japan.

It's like saying "my consoles selling slightly less **** than yours, but it's still selling like ****" :rofl:

The only thing selling there is the Wii/PSP/DS.

Crazy Japanese :no:

Do we have a similar thread for US NPD? I don't see one....

I made one at one point, but nobody seemed to care lol.

Do we have a similar thread for US NPD? I don't see one....

There's usually an individual thread for each NPD results, I have to admit I'd much prefer a single thread for all NPD data.

Anyway, looks like everyone's down this week. This is the third week this has happened, too (well, bar a PS2 jump one week and a PSP jump the week after). We had the high point at 15-21 Sept, and then every week after that the sales were down. Lets hope this is only because of the new hardware revisions coming out, and not the start of something bad.

EDIT: Perhaps getting a mod to merge all of the NPD threads together might work? I don't mind going back and getting all of them if a mod doesn't mind merging them all.

I don't mind separate threads for each NPD, since they're only monthly. Either way, here are the numbers for September (includes 360 price drop):

Wii - 687,000

NDS - 536,800

360 - 347,200

PSP - 238,100

PS3 - 232,400

PS2 - 173,500

Lets hope this is only because of the new hardware revisions coming out, and not the start of something bad.

PSP should get a good boost next week with the 3000 model. It's sales seemed to drop right after Sony announced it was coming. Same with the DSL (was doing 50/60k+ a week before the announcement of the DSi).

PSP 3000 gets off to a great start in Japan, sells over 140k in 4 days

The new PSP 3000 was only released in Japan on October 16th, but Japanese consumers have been very busy over its four days of release, snapping up 141,270 of the new refined PSP. These figures come courtesy of data held by Famitsu.

Oh ok, cheers.

And wow! PSP numbers shot though the roof this week. I don't know why I'm surprised (seen as they didn't do it with the S&L), but they seem to keep the PSP-3000 numbers in with the other PSP numbers. I wonder if the DSi sales numbers will be split or not.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though
    • Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 with active noise cancellation drop to lowest price ever by Fiza Ali With Prime Day 2026 scheduled to run from Tuesday 23 to Friday 26 June, Amazon has already begun rolling out early access offers ahead of the main event. Particularly, Nothing Ear (a) and CMF Buds Pro 2 wireless earbuds have dropped to their lowest price ever with limited Prime deal offering 33% and 24% discounts, respectively. Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery. A full charge of the earbuds and case via USB-C should take approximately 85 minutes, while the earbuds alone should be fully recharged in the case in around 60 minutes. Battery life is rated at up to 11 hours of playback on a single charge and up to 43 hours with the charging case when ANC is turned off. With ANC enabled, playback time is reduced to up to 6.5 hours on the earbuds and up to 26 hours with the charging case. Talk time is rated at up to 6 hours on the earbuds and 25 hours with the case with ANC disabled, or up to 4.8 hours and 18.6 hours, respectively, with ANC enabled.
