I am really impressed that Xbox 360 is managing to still sell ok number of units in Japan, considering they don't have a lot of JRPGs and stuff Japanese care about. When such game comes out on 360 their both hardware and software sales go through the roof outmatching PS3 and all others like in Feb. Talk about killing PS3 and Wii with just one good game. I wonder what would happen if they had more games like that Star Ocean.

It's obvious though that Xbox 360 will never sell as good in Japan because of their tradition and loyalty. They will keep buying Japanese made products. To me it's even wonder that Microsoft manages to shift numbers on occasion there above everyone else. Not that it matters to me really, Japan never really reflected the rest of the world in sales or specific products. So many stuff they've used never really reflected on the global markets. They are very peculiar.

I have to agree here. Didn't the Xbox '1' only sold about 50 - 100 sales per week? Also Tales of Vesperia are the only RPG that I know of that helped the Xbox 360 sales over there. As long as MS keeps pumping out games that Japan likes like RPGs and shoot-em-ups like Death Smiles then the Xbox 360 sales will continue to sell a decent amount of 360s over there.

DQIX does super well.

New games sell systems, the new DQ made the DS jump big. 360 doesn't have anything new out at this time it seems so sales have dropped, though sales are down for other systems as well.

    • Flameshot 14.0 Final by Razvan Serea Flameshot is a free and open-source, cross-platform tool to take screenshots with many built-in features to save you time. Using Flameshot is as simple as launching, dragging the selection box to cover the area you want to capture, making annotations as needed in on-screen and saving the shot to your computer, all with a very simple and straightforward interface. Flameshot allows users to simply upload their screenshots directly to the cloud in order to easily share it with others. You can upload your image directly to Imgur with a single click and share the URL with others. In-app screenshot editing - You can choose to add an arrow mark, highlight text, blur a section (blur or pixelate an area), add a text, draw something, add a rectangular/circular shaped border, add an incrementing counter number, and add a solid color box with Flameshot's built-in editing tools. Command-line interface (CLI) - Flameshot has several commands you can use in the terminal without launching the GUI via a command line interface. The command line interface lets you script Flameshot and use it as the subject of key binds. Flameshot 14.0 release notes: This release brings major improvements to multi-monitor support, fractional scaling support, new capture workflows, and a long list of bug fixes across all platforms. Changelog: New Multi-Monitor Capture Workflow New monitor selection screen before capture for better multi-monitor and mixed-scaling support. Option to auto-capture the monitor under the cursor (X11 & Windows). Tray menu can directly select a monitor. Linux Improvements XDG Desktop Portal is now the primary screenshot method. Added legacy X11 fallback option for minimal window managers. New D-Bus capture API for scripting and automation. Windows Enhancements Global screenshot hotkeys now supported (not limited to Print Screen). New portable mode stores settings next to the executable. Clipboard now always uses PNG format for better compatibility. CLI & Platform Updates Redesigned flameshot screen command with per-monitor capture support. Added native Nix Flake support. More compact launcher UI and improved update notifications. Major Fixes Multiple Wayland stability fixes, including KDE Plasma crash fixes. Clipboard compatibility improvements for GNOME, Wayland, X11, Windows, and macOS. Fixed D-Bus hangs, capture crashes, and HiDPI region issues. Other Changes Dropped Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) support. Updated translations and build infrastructure. Intel macOS builds are no longer provided.
