Latest Japanese Hardware Sales


Recommended Posts

Why is the 360 still selling so low numbers? The Japanese market doesn't seem to be suited for that console.

Well, it's actually doing better than many thought it would, last week it had a nice jump, this week it's back down to around it's average. Sure it's low compared to the Wii and DS, but hell, even the PS3 isn't doing super great either.

Now that it's starting to get more games out in Japan and more Japanese dev games, like RPGs etc, it's sales are slowly going higher on average per week I'd say.

What used to be in the 2-3k a week range, then went to 5-6k, now it's been over 7k and higher quite often.

I wouldn't be surprised if it pushes over 10k per week as an average for next year. This though depends on what other games MS can get out there that the region likes.

Still, compared to the original, MS is doing a good job, slow and steady.

Last Remnant pushing some hardware (Y)

Shame about the game though :/

God damn Square making us wait till FF before they get their best titles out.

ps. No PS2 numbers this week Alpha?

What's wrong with LR? I haven't played it yet, I started playing IU, which others didn't score well in reviews but I like regardless, once you get the hang of the battle system.

Same thing with LO before, average or a bit low review scores but I really liked it. I'll still get LR regardless of the review scores out there it seems.

So it looks like the 360 is staying up over 10k still. Not great compared to the others, but still a good jump for MS. They don't really have to win in japan, coming 3rd is fine since the video game market is so big today. They just need to get 1mil+ units sold for all the devs to jump on. They should be getting there soon if not by the end of this year, then by January I bet.

In October

LTD: 721,230 (Life to Date)

So probably a bit longer than a few months if it's only doing around 10k - Although we'll see what happens at Christmas.

To be honest, I only really forsee a couple of million on the XBOX 360. If MS is smart, they'll make their next console backwards compatible, and push 360 games into the next generation, which will hopfully push the third XBOX into a decent sales bracket.

I think it will be, I don't think MS will change the basic arch of the Xbox again, just beef it up. Instead of 3 cores it'll have 6, and probably 2 GPUs like top of the line PC gfx cards do now. And loads of ram etc. This keeps the devs happy since they have more resources to work with but don't have to learn anything new. If you've already coded your game engine to run on 3 cores, and it's multithreaded, then moving it up to a 6 core system or dual GPU setup should be automatic or very very easy.

That's how I'd do it anyways.

    • Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe PC gamers have two more games they can add to their library without needing to open their wallets, as the Epic Games Store's freebie offer has just refreshed. That means last week's Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King offer has been replaced by two new games, which happen to be Robobeat and Citizen Sleeper copies. From the duo, Robobeat lands from developer Simon Fredholm, offering a rhythm-based action game. Released only last year, the title puts you into the shoes of Ace, a bounty hunter that's targeting the robot showman Frazzer. The fast-paced title offers movement techniques like wall-running, sliding, and bunny hopping to zoom around while shooting enemies, but the requirement is doing everything to the beat. Outside of built-in tracks, the title also lets players upload their own music to populate its levels too. Next, Citizen Sleeper lands from Jump Over The Age, a sci-fi RPG adventure taking place in a ruined space station where thousands of people are trying to survive. The tabletop RPG-inspired title uses things like dice and clocks to change how the player approaches situations and survives their day-to-day lives. There is a large range of characters to meet with in the station, each with their own storylines and alliances. "You are a sleeper, a digitised human consciousness in an artificial body, owned by a corporation that wants you back," says the developer about the setting. "Thrust amongst the unfamiliar and colourful inhabitants of the Eye, you need to build friendships, earn your keep, and navigate the factions of this strange metropolis, if you hope to survive to see the next cycle." The Citizen Sleeper and Robobeat giveaways are set to run until June 25 on the Epic Games Store, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, new freebies will take its place on the same day. They are supposed to be copies of RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 and Voidwrought. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.
    • Vivaldi version 8.0.4033.50 released June 17: https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/minor-update-eight-8-0/
    • The Online part hasn't even been announced and probably won't be included on day one. This is a massive singleplayer game.
    • While I agree with all that, it just proves there's an a** built for every seat.
