well, I was out for a whole week on a nice relaxing cruise.. but damn, it must have been a bad time of year (of which time I had no control over) cause there were no chicks anywhere.. buncha fat people.. if thats your taste (they look REALLY horrible when tanning on the top deck... lol)
Anyway, it was the Explorer of the Seas, the biggest cruise ship out there right now for a family reuninion of 42 people :eek:

Anything on North America and console sales?

why would anyone on this forum care about sales anyway?? Especially japan sales?? Makes no sense:confused:

Anything on North America and console sales?
When I find it I post it.. USA sales are rare :(
and to Qudohosoh, the console that does well in japan normally dominates, and it has alot to do with what 3rd party games the console will see.
Example, the xbox gets very little from japaneese 3rd parties, while the ps2 has. This is partly due to japaneese ps2 sales, and absolutly horrible xbox sales in japan

Well since xbox is selling good in america. Maybe 3rd parties will release some games only in North America?? Which seems to be the case so far.

Quddus, its mainly out of curiosity.. i like to see how well games/consoles are selling..
keep it coming Chrono :)

I like to see how bad the PS2 is wasting the Xbo... *cough* er, nevermind.

Because Japan is THE biggest Gamming market
and the fact that M$$$$$ is going down as well as a fart in a spacesuit, makes it all the more funnyer.

Ouch. Bad week.
-
Holy crap, look at that dip for the Xbox on those charts. Ouch.
I\'m interested in seeing the total console sales since they have been released, worldwide, for the three major systems (PS2, GC, and PSX... er... Xbox I guess). I was looking for it last night, but I couldn\'t find it on a google search. I\'m not sure what to type in.
-
[delete]:D
-
The next chart will be a bit different IMO. The price war in Japan will change the sales... I hope that PS2 is still the winner :)
-
hope?
ps2 will still be outselling both GC and xbox combined

64 had to sell more than that...it couldn\'t have sold the same amount as Saturn and survived.
Besides, didn\'t the 64 sell over 30 million worldwide? I know the US and UK didn\'t make up 25 million in sales...
-
I thought PlayStation sold over 80million units worldwide in it\'s lifetime.
I know PS2 has over 30million out there now... at least that\'s what MSNBC says, heh.
Are you sure those are right?
-
And those Gameboy advanced numbers can\'t be right...hasn\'t it sold like 40 million already?
And those PSone numbers are weird...if the PS sold 80 million worldwide and only 19 million in Japan then the US and UK would have to make up around 60 million...if that\'s true, then why is it that the Japanese market is so important in they are the minority?
-
Those are japaneese only

Yes usa sold more consoles than japan, but the japanese market is so important because all the developers are japanese.

you mean.. US, UK, Europe, Asia, Australia? :p

This is a funny thread...
let me explain this to a certain few cause I am a statistics expert. I\'ll put this simply.
example, and I\'ll be nice...
30 million PS2s
8 million GCNs
6 million Xbs
that total number is 44 million consoles sold...
that means PS2 makes up 68% of consoles in the world, GCN 18%, XB 14%.
That means if you release a game on PS2, your sales will do about 82% better than if you release it on X-Box, therefore increasing the amount of third-parties wanting to develop games for that system, therefore increasing the amount of games that system recieves, therefore attracting more buyers, therefore increasing consoles sold, therefore PS2 users are getting more out of their system...
that\'s
sales statistics 101 for ya...
but pretty much I hope that clears things up for you Quddus. Number of consoles sold is directly poportional to it\'s value and well in this case how well it matches up against other consoles.

Wow, what a large spike for a price cut to 24,800 (199.744 USD) :laughing:

Or sell the whole set. The bottles could be used to "refresh" the smell.

Just for like some discussion:
I know Japan just has less ppl, but the kids and even adults are much more hardcore gamers than USA and Europe. I mean a lot of USA kids just buy the console to have, play one or two games and thats it. In Japan, it is a culture and past time.
But I realized this when noticing that Super SNES/Famicon and PSX had about 25% more games in Japan, some of which were cool games. USA had no exclusive games whatsoever.
So basically MS are morons for saying that Japan market is not important. While I do agree that they can get a solid presence in USA due to the ridiculous gullible and stupidity factor of the average American, they can never establish a real presence with the hardcore gamers, which are the money makers for game developers.
It\'s just seems like Xbox will never a real gaming machine but some stupid box that sits in ppl\'s home.

I would like to know where you got your thoughts from...the videogame industry pulls in about 20 billion a year, I would think it hard to say Japan is responsible for the bulk of it. While I do believe Japan is very important, I think U.S. pulls in at a very close and strong second.
And considering that the average age of an Xbox or PS2 owner is 16-24 would show that it\'s not just kids who are buying these consoles or supporting the market.
The videogame industry is growing every year as more and more people pick it up as a pass-time. And you also must realize that there are alot more developers in the U.S. today then there were last generation...
But I realized this when noticing that Super SNES/Famicon and PSX had about 25% more games in Japan, some of which were cool games. USA had no exclusive games whatsoever.
Most of those are like Hello Kitty, Roommania, Tokyo Bus, Horse Racing and the such. Games that woud bomb in the U.S.
So basically MS are morons for saying that Japan market is not important.
I don\'t remember them saying this...
While I do agree that they can get a solid presence in USA due to the ridiculous gullible and stupidity factor of the average American,
And all the while I thought I just wanted to play games...I guess it was the stupidity factor in me:rolleyes:
they can never establish a real presence with the hardcore gamers, which are the money makers for game developers.
Actually, I would think that the casual gamers far outweigh the hardcore gamers...define hardcore.
It\'s just seems like Xbox will never a real gaming machine but some stupid box that sits in ppl\'s home.
Define real gaming machine and tell me how PS2 has already met this criteria...
I hope you register, I was getting kinda bored:D

I\'m almost positive that N64 has sold 30 million by now.
