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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
