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.

    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
    • Ocenaudio 3.19.4 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.4 changelog: Adds fallback fonts so every language and symbol displays correctly Improves autosave and session recovery stability Improves region navigation and display Fixes a crash when the level meter is used on displays with a scaling greater than 200% Fixes memory corruption when using the silence selection tools Fixes crashes when closing a file while effects are still being processed Fixes a freeze when applying effects to many files at once (macOS) Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows Fixes invalid file names when exporting regions whose label is used as the file name Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
