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.

    • Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.
    • They said by this time everyone will have flying cars. WELL...
    • A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.
    • Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
