Xbox 360 Sells 6,000 Units in Japan... in a Whole Month
The system's struggles in Japan continue.
It's a fairly well known and accepted fact that neither the Xbox nor Xbox 360 has lit up the sales charts in Japan. Microsoft simply has not been able to capture the interest of gamers in the home territory of Sony and Nintendo despite making attempts to reach out with JRPGs that weren't available on PS3 or Wii -- there was Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon from Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi's Mistwalker, The Last Remnant from Square Enix, and so on.
The period between May and June was no exception to the rule. Andriasang has posted a translation of the sales charts from Enterbrain's Famitsu Xbox 360 magazine (courtesy of Sokuho@Hokanko), and they're none too pretty. Between May 16 and June 12, 5pb fighting game Phantom Breaker was the top seller with 13,300 units sold. Cave-developed shooter Akai Katana Shin comes in next with 7,220 sold and is followed by Portal 2 at 5,240 and Dance Central at 4,130. Kinect sold 2,680, bringing its total sales up to 99,900 since launch.
As for the system itself, the Xbox 360 sold just 6,000 units. That brings its total up to 1.47 million. For comparison's sake, it's doing significantly better in the United States, where it's outsold the PlayStation 3 and Wii for months. In March, April, and May combined, the 360 sold one million units in the U.S. alone, which should put into perspective how poorly the system has done in Japan since launch.
It was fairly clear from the start that the 360 would never be a huge seller in Japan, and while there have been some sales spikes, like the launch of the Xbox 360's redesign, those have quickly died off.

Japanese dislike our games, as you do thiers. Simple.Posted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Sol-BadguyXX
Hence the reason we see Eidos games on the square/enix watch list. They have to pick up a company to make games to cater to us. Heres whats going to happen, the Japanese are spending millions to play catch up to our fickle gamer tastes, mostly first person shooters. Notice they are trying to mimic our games now? But yet its a poor fascimile and they end up failing cuz we've simply done it longer and better. Those japanese games meant to cater to us mostly flop. And usually its them outsourcing to canada, europe, or smaller US developers, to make that part of thier game if not completely. It is really sad playing a Lost Planet for example, 7 years ago we'd never see capcom even try this crap! We'd have Mega Man legends 3, they'd be making my next Breath of Fire game that is WAYYY overdue. But won't show up seeing as though jRPGs are no longer profitable to the US crowd. This makes my PSP the system I have with the most RPGs. I long for when RPGs standed for Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy! When you didn't put the "j" in. Sad when the game I look forward to the most is Final Fantasy 4 the complete collection... Which is amazing btw.
So, for the love of god people branch out! Or nothings gonna change, when MW3 comes you can't sell any other game in this market for about 2 months lol. And good luck to anyone else planning a FPS this holiday. Thats our holiday season. I for one am still waiting for "The Last Story" and "Xenoblade Chronicles" to come stateside. A couple of phenominal combo of wii RPGs. The Last Story is set to be of the last great Wii games made by mistwalker supposedly in the vein of FF12, and xenoblade from the makers of xenosaga/baitan kaitos! Wiki says just Europe only in 2012 folks. I officially hate both the fickle japanese execs, and common american gamers. Flame that.
...I gotta learn japanese...

How are the other consoles selling? They're still recovering from the worst natural disaster in their history; i imagine that may have dampened hardware sales somewhat.
usa made and microsoft ownedPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by texasplayer
its simply because sony and nintendo are dominant markets in japan.the us has a real strong sale of xbox360's.and partially because alot of games are usa based.japanese games are sometimes weird.ive seen a few and im thinking to myself why would anyone want to play such a crappy game.but its just my opinion.
Those stats are not enough.Posted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by zzppqq
A few extra pieces of information that are necessary to draw the conclusion that sales were less in japan than in the U.S.:
population of japan, sales per month: 127.3 million, 6,000
population of U.S., avg sales per month : 311 million, 33,300
ratio of sales per person in Japan, in U.S.: .0000471 , .00011
So the sales are about double per person in the U.S. as compared to Japan. What more is needed is to know how the PS3 sales per person compared during this time. Maybe japanese buy fewer consoles. Maybe this is a bad season for it there.
US Sales NumbersPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by USCrulez2001
think you missed a zero on the number for the US man, shouldn't it be 333,000 instead of 33,000?

HmmmPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by helpfulmole
What about the launch, promotions, and advertisements?
This is probably a bigger factor than "their cultural tastes in games." Tastes change.
For example, I love raw beef now (assuming I have raw egg yoke and garlic). I didn't before I saw the pictures of smiley cows with chef hats suggesting that they were going to cook themselves. True story.

How many strategy/JRPG's are on xbox 360?? What about puzzle games? Therein lies your problem. Investing in a 360 is a risk if you're not a FPS/action game fan.

After buying 3 xbox 360 that fried faster than your average scrambled eggs, you know for certain you're in for a scam.
Reaching outPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by statueofmike
lol that monopolizing games is "reaching out." I hope the money Microsoft paid for Blue Dragon, Mistwalker, etc made up to the developers for the lack of sales of those games. No, actually I don't.
It's so flattering when the platform distributor locks a game into their platform to punish other platforms. Really makes you want to give your money to them.
LAWLPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by jjame47
You're an idiot. You are bashing Microsoft for having exclusives, something that all consoles have had not just this generation, but since consoles were invented? Something that helps set consoles apart, and customers make descisions on which product they should buy? LAWLZ
JUST becasue Japan doesnt buy Xbox means little, only it does not apeal to manyPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Ravenlore
Japan is not as diverse as the US so some itmes do not sale well in general, it is the same in many european countries. Thus, something that is a hit in Japan makes a bigger percentage than a hit in the US.
They are too proud of their hardware!Posted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by VDKT
Japan is too proud of their hardware! It's like cars... goodluck trying to sell a Ford, or even Korean Hyundais or even German Volks cars in Japan! IT JUST DOESN'T HAPPEN!!! Japan knows their Japanese cars are awesome, and refuse to buy cars from outside their country cause they consider American, Korean and European cars to be low crap quality! They despise American cars with a passion!!! They have Honda ads that pass on TV where you see some poor white guy driving a Ford car, it breaks down, he starts crying and then you see a Japanese guy drive by with his Honda Civic laughing! I don't blame them anyways, their electronics aren't crap, so it's understandable that they are proud about their own homemade products!
The same applies to electronics! Nintendo and Sony have dominated the video game market, and Japanese gamers don't give a damn about American-made video game consoles like the Xbox 360! To them, the 360 is an inferior console, and to make matters worst, the old RROD reputation doesn't help either!
You can't even try selling a 360 as a "cheap and affordable" console in Japan because the Wii is cheaper and more affordable than the 360!!! If a family can't afford an overpriced PS3, they go for the Wii! The 360 doesn't even cross their minds cause all they see is: "Nintendo Made in Japan VS Sony Made in Japan". They don't even see "360 has better graphics, hardware, online capability and much more fun mature games than a cheap kiddy Wii console and is more affordable than a PS3!!!"
Their loss really! Anyone who choses a Wii rather than a 360 when they wanted a PS3-like console in mind is missing out on SO MUCH!!! Let them be stuborn. Japan ruled the world of gaming in the 80's and 90's! But we're the 21st century! Japan isn't #1 anymore..... but not #2 either. They are all somewhat equal and you should pick a console based on what your friends and family buy or what exclusives you want the most. For example... don't buy a 360 if all your friends have a PS3, or don't buy a PS3 if all the exclusives you wanna play are on the 360. But buying a Wii rather than a 360 just because you can't afford a PS3? ...... that's sad.
I lived there...Posted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by I_am_Urquan
I lived in Okinawa Japan for 4 years and they love American stuff. They had a whole shopping center dedicated to western products called "America Town". Get your facts straight friendo.
Rant and 1/2Posted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Sol-BadguyXX
America Town lol I remember going to Japan town in San Francisco... So its a huge America themed mall/couple blocks with themed stores?... But I don't think it represents America's reflection on the japanese lol. No, I think like us they are picky and choosey on just what about our culture they like. I'd never eat at a sushi joint named stan's sushi or better example, I don't eat at panda express cuz I don't think the white chick behind the counter knows good chinese! Some sterotypes are facts no matter what we want to believe. Those 6000 buyers, are those "outside the norm people." Kudos to them for thinking outside the box. I personally have all 3, and it feels like a war on 3 fronts for my gaming attention. But lately its been the 360's online that keeps me playing even my older games. The rest are content knowing that the PS3 is built by Japanese and mostly for japanese, it has generally the same games and theoretically should have better graphics. Finally ps3 is getting some games first so 360 can feel the sting of a ported game, ie la noire, FF13, dead space 2. So why would a japanese consumer look any farther? They just don't dig gore, or fps. We were the ones who changed and said we don't like your games anymore. And that is why we get NO MORE GOOD RPGs! When Square dies, which it will soon, it was because you were all too busy playing call of duty. I think I'm going to play Chrono Trigger and cry...
Ford v HondaPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Hubris1987
To be perfectly honest, Japanese cars are more reliable and get better gas milage. Why do you think they are everywhere in America? Because we like to buy good shit like everyone else, and Honda and Toyota is good shit. You might recall that American car companies suck so much, the Government had to give them a bunch of money so they wouldn't collapse.
errrr ToyotaPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Hubris1987
Actually, i just remembered they had some kind of brake-sticking problem a few years back, didn't they?
Toyota had a accelerator problemPosted: Jun 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by XHandxBananaX43
The problem with the Toyota's a couple years back was that the accelerator would not disengage causing the vehicle to speed out of control and crash. Usually resulting in death.
There's something that doesn't often get pulled in to that Ford vs Toyota debate. In the US for the longest time the truck and SUV dominated. Where as in Japan with it being a smaller country and being highly congested in areas the compact car dominates. You can see this in their vehicles. Ford, GM, and Dodge all make great trucks and SUVs, while Toyota and Honda can't make one worth a shit. On the other hand, Honda and Toyota make amazing compact cars like the Civic and Corrola while GM, Ford, and Dodge make buckets if shit called the Ford Focus and Chevy Cobalt.
The government loan had nothing to do with the actual quality of vehicles, it had more to do with piss poor management and inability to adjust to a protracted recession. When you produce far more vehicles than you'll be able to sell, all while doing nothing to lower production costs or save money a company will naturally bleed money until they are bankrupt. Look at the US manufacturers now, they've completely rebounded and Ford is turning the best profits it's seen in years.
Old newsPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by turkish101
And nothing about it is surprising, but still... every time I hear about how the 360 is doing in Japan, it's still eye-opening and even a little hard to fathom. It makes sense, but 1.5 million total is astonishingly low.
This is not surprising...Posted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Gixman
Being as how japanese gamers don't like the kinds of games gamers in pretty much every country in the world play. they only like fighting games, games based on Anime (dragonball, Naruto...Etc) and those weird titles. oh! and those hentai titles that are common in the japanese market.

Xbox 360 Best Gaming Platform, PS3 Best Everything ElsePosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by a0me
As a gaming platform alone, my preference goes to the Xbox 360 but if you could only have one device (for economic or space reasons) then most people's choice would probably be the PS3.
Its Blu-ray playback, internet browsing and PVR functionalities makes it the obvious choice for the majority of people. Sure you miss on some great Microsoft exclusives and on the best version of multi-platform games, but honestly, that's something only hard core gamers care about.
GamesPosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Dann_The_Man
Thats all that really should matter if you're buying a console. I don't understand why companies are trying to make an all-in-one machine, they end up doing a somewhat good job, AT BEST. Sony is 2nd place in terms of hardcore games and casual games because they focus too much on making it all in one. Sony may have a bunch of nifty features, but it's not the best.
What games...Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Liquid_Ocelot_Wesker
What 360 exclsuives are there that are better than what the PS3 has to offer, and how does the 360 have the best version of a game? The 360 caters alot to the casual gamers as well. Kinect and Avatars are great for casual users, and, the last time checked, it was the 360 leading the charge against the Wii for the support of casual gamers... The servers are great on both, I have both, but prefer not paying for my online services. I suppose Little Big Planet is for the casual gamer, but it's so good that even hardcore gamers can love it. I really don't see the huge list of exclusives that everyone always says the 360 has...
360- Halo, Gears, Fable, Forza, Alan Wake, and Splinter Cell...
PS3- Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, Infamous, Killzone, Resistence, LBP, God of War, Demon Souls, Heavy Rain, and Gran Turismo...
It's not all about hardcore gamersPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by a0me
@ Dann_The_Man
>> I don't understand why companies are trying to make an all-in-one machine,
Because hardcore gamers are a minority. You don't sell 30 or 40 million consoles (or more) with only hardcore gamers as your installed base. How do you get to these numbers? By expanding your audience.
Nintendo did it by selling cheap hardware and casual games.
PS3 is doing it (at least in Japan) by adding Blu-ray playback, PVR and Internet browsing.
@ Liquid_Ocelot_WeskerPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by a0me
It's not about what exclusives are *better*. It's more a matter of tastes. If you *want* to play Halo, GOW, Alan Wake, Crackdown, PGR, etc... you need an Xbox 360.
About the multiplatform games being better on Xbox 360, this is a known fact, check any review site. Frame-rate, resolution, lighting, etc... the Xbox 360 version is constantly above the PS3 one.
And about the servers, seriously? PSN outage anyone?
Just wanted to addPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Zombu47
@ Liquid_Ocelot_Wesker
The main reason for the "better" multiplatform games being on 360 is because the game was most likely designed on the PC which is most compatible with the 360. So basically it's easier to create the game and it work well on 2 systems then get it to work on the third (PS3, and possibly 4th) than it would be to get it to work well on the PS3 and then have to figure out how to make it work well with the other two.
@a0me, then ZombuPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by Liquid_Ocelot_Wesker
That whole PSN attack thing has nothnig to do with the quality of the servers, ut the qualit of the protection of said servers... And it was pure bullshit... From forst stating it would only a few days, to it lasting for 3 weeks, it was pure crap. Hell, I even bought ODST and made a new free trial Live accout during that time...
Also, youre right about the frames, because of the reason Zombu said, the 360 and PC are much mroe closely related, thus making it easier to port the game over... the actual CPU for the Playstation is better, which helps it's GPU in the end...
That's true, especially since Microsoft makes both PCs and the 360. Which is also the reason for Valve's bad-mouthing of the PS3 until late, which is more bullshit but I'll save it for another time. Not to mention the PS3 is harder to code for, which is why Valve was bitching about it.
@ Liquid_Ocelot_WeskerPosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by a0me
Most people don't care about why the Xbox 360 version is better than the PS3. The PS3 CPU might be more powerful than the 360 but if the PS3 version of a game is weaker than the 360, then what's the point?
About PSN vs XBL, it's all about the quality of the service (honestly who cares about the "quality of the servers"?). And a service being down for weeks on end is not a good service (BTW Japanese users still can't access the PS Store, almost 3 months after the attack).
And even when PSN is up and running, the only advantage over XBL is that PSN is free.
Apart from that, XBL has more content, better communication features (cross game chat anyone?) and offer an overall more integrated experience.
But then, as I said earlier, PS3 has Blu-Ray, internet browsing, PVR (at least in Japan) and (from my own experience) seems to go along better with different devices for media streaming.

I just assumed that it was common knowledge that the word Jap is a derogatory slur. It's also really obvious that some people are using it here intentionally knowing that it's racist.
It's really their loss though. Some of the best friendships I've had in life thus far have been with people from different racial and ethnic backgrounds than my own. Something that the racists on this site will surely miss out on in life.
@GAM35WH1T3P3OPL1K3 I think I'll pass on that one. Sometimes ignorance is bliss and I think just seeing more racist shit spewing from peoples mouths will chip away even more at the little faith I have left in humanity. I'd like to stick to talking with people on 1UP who want to come together and share their love of a common hobby and that's gaming. I don't care what that persons race is I just want to interact with people who love gaming as much as I do.

Why is it necessary for dumb fucks to feel the need to shit on a race of people and their culture just because they don't like your favorite games or console? Is this what gaming has come to? A lack of respect for people and culture over console brand loyalty? What makes either side's tastes more valid? Grow up
.....Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by tisoyboy2
This would seem to be deeper then gaming alone. FPS games seem to sell more in the U.S. and the Xbox 360 has proven to be the console of choice for shooters in our region. I really think this stems from the post Pearl Harbor / Weapons Embargo that was imposed on the Japanese. Over the many years since then their culture wasn't about war or military forces. And as Americans, its what we have grown accustom to. They have to offer what the people they are marketing to want.
whyPosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Greendewey
Why does this article exist? This will be the next article: "Call of Duty did in fact sell well."
On another note, Japan doesn't really accept non Japanese anything when it comes to video games. Its too bad cause it keeps them from playing some really fun games and expanding the type of games that come out of there.

Its a two way street, dude.Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by blu_7
Japanese gamers are more discerning of quality and game genres than those FPS junkies, so FPS games like Halo, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Bioshock come off as repetitive and dull to them. They also feel this carries on to why Japanese titles are better than most American products. Such a wise group of people. So, enjoy your Vending machine of First Person Shooters that require little innovation or input, and collect those achievements. American gaming is really behind the times when it comes to industry standards when it comes to coming up with new, and fresher gameplay experiences that do not require a gun (outside of indies, of course).
Give me Nintendo's stable franchises, Sonic, Team Ico's masterpieces, and all those "primitive" Japanese gameplay experiences for my Japanese Nintendo Wii and Sony PlayStation 3, which offer so much more outside of point and shoot, and are not afraid to create a character without a bald head, and/or "tough guy" persona.

Do u think it could be that the xbox 360 doesn't appeal very much to the average Japanese gamer. 1. The xbox 360 had a abominal failure rate while Wii and PS 3 combined were still exponentially lower. Unacceptable in a country known for qaulity control (6 sigma anyone) 2. The Japanese consumer has grown up with Nintendo and Sony and are known to be extremely loyal purchasers. Also Microsoft is banking hard on Kinect and it undoubtedly doesn't the games to back up the tech in it. 3. The exclusives aren't that good. Yes I know the catalog in Japan is a bit different but until Microsoft can get something to rival Mario and Nintendo's suite of high quality all stars, theres no need for them to really consider the Xbox 360 as a platform.
What do Japanese kids play, anyway?Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Hubris1987
I'd like to see a investigative article from someone in Japan about what Japanese gamers actually play. I mean, their major exports are:
JRPGs: Games so caught up in tired archtypes that their greatest achievements are making players hope one of the main characters dies.
Monster Hunter
Near-Hentai games featuring bouncing boobs.
But could these be the Export Only games? What do the natives really PLAY? I mean, if we judged the Australian beer culture from Fosters alone (a beer most natives call "kangaroo piss") or Mexican beers by Corona (a beer most native Mexicans associate with the working class i.e. the budweiser of Mexico) then we would be commiting ourselves to ignorance of true culture to our own detriment.

I know the Japanesse don't like to buy American but I wonder if they would have given the 360 more of a chance if it didn't have a 33%+ failure rate the first few years. The hardware for their competitors has been consistently more reliable. That's why I gave up my 360, it was about to RRoD a second time and it was out of warranty at that point.
maybe...Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by bangrabowski
But what about the original Xbox? It was built like a tank and was more reliable than the PS2.
Not to mention....Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by San_Andreas
...they love American movies in Japan. And Mickey D's.

Who cares?Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by PanzerDSS
The Japanese console market is dying anyway. They only play portable games or games on their cell phones. Not only that, but they don't buy anything that isn't the same recycled manga/anime stereotypes and stories. While there are a few Japanese developers making great, innovative games (Q? comes to mind), most of the Japanese developers are trotting out the same old crap.
Until the Japanese market proves important enough to focus on, Microsoft should focus on the North America and Europe.
So TruePosted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by P0PMasterGod
Amen To That.
US population, and age group for games is much bigger than JapanPosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Ravenlore
In the united states there are 330 MILLION people, in Japan there are around 130Million people, with a Much higer percent above the age of 50 compared to the united states.
So percentage wise the numbers are A lot closer that it apears. In addition, Nintendo for the young gamers and older gamers, and Jrpgs from Sony for the teen and young adult sell well. Thus Nintendo and Sony attract more gamers, and the gaming industry in Japan is stagnating.
For the Japanese it is the portable market that they gravate to and APPLE is a big part of that. BUt with such distane for the rest of the world I hope they do not buy US products and we do not buy theirs and we would see what would happen.
So do to these reasons the one console that does not sell well is Xbox. Due to its media choice, its a third console that has games that are also on PS3, and fewer games like Jrpgs, and more shooters. And just like HERE a few people who are nationalist, but its not a huge idology as Apple has NO prbolem selling in JAPAN!!!
I disagreePosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by bangrabowski
Look at the sales numbers for Playstation and Nintendo and you will see that there is a larger market that the xbox is missing out on in that region. The reason is because the Japanese have a different cultural taste than Americans, so they like different games that what the Xbox has to offer.
Screw The Japs.Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by P0PMasterGod
Why? Cause they're not relevant anymore, sure they used to dominate the market before, but not this generation. American branded games and companies have learned from their mistakes and are delivering good quality games. How many triple A titles have come from Japan over the last year? Exept for MVC3 which is questionable, though it did sell quite well. The answer, none. It's a shame really that even the Final Fantasy series are going down hill and are not relevant like before. The Japanese market is dying fast. And if they don't get their cards together they will cease to exist to the outside gaming world. I hope they have good stuff to show at TGS 11.
AtleastPosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Super_Dante20
They make real games that make you think. All Americans can make are shooters...bland, boring, and the same thing over and over again. Here's a gun, go shoot stuff.
They Used ToPosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by P0PMasterGod
Make games that made you think. Now all they give us is unfinished or unpolished crap. Titles like "Neverdead Or Shadows Of The Damned". And what can you say about the never dying Sonic or DBZ titles that have come out these last few years.All of them have been midiocre at best. Even titles that used to be good they've ruined like Metroid and DMC, with half assed crappy makeovers. Now Let's take a look at american games. It's not all about shooters, we have exelent sport titles like NBA 2k11 And Fight Night Champion. Other Genere Defining RPG's Like Mass Effect. For Some Even Fable III. Sure we do have alot of shooters, but damn good ones if you ask me along with the public. Gears Of War, Modern Warfare 1 & 2, Battlefield. Hell even the halo titles feel more polished and complete than most of the Japanese titles out there. I Know it's sad but ultimately true.
And thenPosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by EKGTrooper
People wonder how the PS3 was able to catch up the the 360 in worldwide sales. Duh, the PS3 regularly outsells the 360 in Asia, Europe etc. The 360 outsells the PS3 in America, but the PS3 outsells the 360 in a lot of other territories, hence it was able to catch up in worldwide sales.
Is anyone surprised?Posted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Dinglewhoosh
Blue Dragon was decent. Lost Odyssey was great. The last remnant was terrible.
One great game doesn't sell systems, obviously.
You can cite other games like Halo, Mass Effect, Black Ops or whatever you want. The fact is the JRPG scene on the 360 is abysmal even 5 years after release. Star Ocean is better on PS3. No disc swapping and you can return to previously visted locations unlike in the 360.
Tales of vesperia is great and still a 360 exclusive but there are a lot of other tales games available in japan on other systems. Who wants to pay $300 for two games? If JRPG's are the only games you want to play the 360 isn't for you.
Last remnant was terrible?? Only to FPS fansPosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by DemiCat
I agree is not newbie-friendly. But the depth of the combat of that game is enormous!
You can easily spend hundreds of hours on it. There are so many ways that you can customize your squads.
I have to say it's one of the best game that SE made in a long time.
The Last RemnantPosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Dinglewhoosh
The Last Remnant has a lot of problems. Maybe the PC version fixed a few but the 360 version was not very good. I think it's the only game where levelling up is actually detrimental to the player. The difficulty curve is also all over the place. No direct control over your characters makes the battle system practically luck based. The amount of glitches made it almost unplayable unless you installed it to your HDD and even then it was glitchy as hell. Texture pops everywhere, slow framerate etc. I guess this can be attributed to the use of the unreal engine but I really see no excuse for the condition that game shipped in. The game even freezes on the ending credits. Nice reward for beating the game.
Keep in mind I played it when it first came out so maybe it's had a few updates since then but I doubt it. The only redeeming quality was the music. It had lame story and characters too.
Maybe I'm being a bit harsh but thats my honest opinion on the game. I'm sure I'm not the only one who dislikes it. If you like enjoyed it thats cool but it's definately not a system seller.
Pointless articlePosted: Jun 28, 2011 12:00AM PST by Hurstshifter
"It's a fairly well known and accepted fact that neither the Xbox nor Xbox 360 has lit up the sales charts in Japan."
No kidding...not to mention that the system has been out for 5 years. Sometimes I wonder about these filler articles from 1up. Was this really tweet-worthy?
It would be nice...Posted: Jun 29, 2011 12:00AM PST by McSpuddles
...to have a follow up article from Chris Pereira exploring the reasons for the poor uptake of the 360 in Japan with some better stats (i.e. sales per 100 people or something more comparable than just total sales).
I suspect there wasn't enough uptake from Japanese developers at launch and the system never really took off before the PS3 and Wii launched so it's kind of locked in to mediocrity by lack of games and lack of development from Jaoanese developers due to a relatively small Japanese 360 market. If that's the case, why? Did Microsoft just not give Japanese launch titles a high enough priority?

I have a variety of shops that I think are being penalised by google for basically being the same duplicate content. This is because they are all fed from XML same source.
I have a theory of using the canonical URL tag for at least some of the key categories/products so that e main shop receives no duplicated penalty.
Can anyone think how I would do this? Would I have to add a new line specifying the canonical address and then some code to the site to interpret that fed data.
OR... could I just place some code on the site that dynamically takes the URL currently in the browser, copies it, strips out the root shop domain, replaces it with a desired one held in a variable, and then generates and laces this into a canonical link tag on the fly?
Sorry im all theory and not a great programmer.

Anonymous Coward 27907756
Twinkies have an expiration date, you know.
One big reason we have a good standard of living in the US is because the US is the world's breadbasket. Food manufacturers get their supplies cheap, because all the food is grown here. China can't manufacture things like this, takes them a week to ship a barge across the ocean, plus, the twinkies would sit in port for a week or so while the ship is being loaded. Not profitable to ship perishable food items from overseas.
Anonymous Coward 18472602
what decade are YOU living in? US is the worlds' breadbasket? You know we're putting most of our corn in our engines and horses are starving because of the price of hay right? You know farmers have gone out of business en masse because they can't afford to feed their livestock right? God, it's like everyone is blind or dumb.

MALAGA, Spain (AP) -Joaquin Sanchez made up for a penalty miss by scoring the second-half winner as Malaga continued its unbeaten start in the Champions League with a 1-0 victory over AC Milan on Wednesday.
Joaquin curled a penalty off the crossbar in the 45th minute but made no mistake in the 64th when volleying Manuel Iturra's lob pass off the bounce and past goalkeeper Marco Amelia from a tight angle.
Malaga's third straight victory in Group C lifted it to nine points and further compounded Milan's miserable season. The Italian club has just four points and is 15th in Serie A - 15 points behind champion and leader Juventus.

PARK CITY, Utah — This year's Sundance Film Festival has featured two former presidential candidates, rap stars, male strippers and rescue dogs. So why not the Jamaican Olympic bobsled team?
The group appeared at the festival on Monday to promote their trip to Sochi for the Olympic Winter Games and seek some much-needed cash. When the team was approved entry this month, Jamaican officials said they didn't have the money to travel to Russia to compete. Coach Wayne Thomas said some funding has flowed in, but the team is still in need.
"What we really need now is money to buy the equipment, specifically the runners," Thomas said of the skates attached to the bobsled. "The runners that we are using are very close to illegal right now."
When asked what the deadline was for the cash, he joked, "Yesterday."
So the team decided to head to Sundance to raise awareness, hoping that some celebrities with deep pockets might want to contribute.
"We're here to let people know that we are here and still in need of funding," Coach Wayne Thomas said, adding jokingly, "And also to see some stars."
"Only lady stars," said pilot Winston Watt, as the team broke into laughter.
For some at Sundance, seeing the Jamaican bobsled team was like catching a glimpse of the movie stars who have packed Park City for the festival. The team attracted attention and happily posed for eager picture seekers in between bites at the pop-up MorningStar Veggie Burger Bar, which has been providing free veggie burgers and other food for moviegoers. It was just one of their pit stops on Main Street as they tried to draw attention to their need for funding.
They'll get an even bigger spotlight when they travel to Sochi next month. The Caribbean island nation's entry to the Winter Olympics in 1988 caused a huge media stir and inspired the movie "Cool Runnings." This year's team says that members of the 1988 team have offered advice.
The athletes have been training since last summer and have been in Evanston, Wyo., for practice in icy conditions.
"Despite being from a tropical country, we don't think of lots of obstacles," said Wayne Blackwood, a brakeman. "We stay focused."
"We just want to go up there and do our best," said the team's other brakeman, Marvin Dixon, who will hold the flag for Jamaica during the opening and closing ceremonies.
They don't see themselves as a novelty act in the Olympics, but real competitors.
"I'm one of the best brakeman in the world right now," Dixon said matter-of-factly.
Blackwood said they would be comparable to other nations excelling in the bobsled competition if they had better equipment. "That's what we want, equipment — and we are up there with them," he said,
The Jamaican delegation has to be in Sochi on Feb. 4. They say they're not concerned with security despite bombings in Russia last month that left several dead.
They also expressed tolerance for gay athletes, who will compete in Sochi despite last year's implementation of a law banning homosexual "propaganda" among minors. Russia's crackdown on gays had led some to call for a boycott of the Games there.
"For me, you is you, I am me. You be yourself, I'll be myself," Dixon said.

Where to begin. I have camped here for three months. What was once thought to be a good place has turned out to be the opposite. There is a self proclaimed park ranger who is a sneaky as a crook. We were told of a washing facility that was supposedly able to use was broke. Come to find out it was a lie they are using it for their benefit and telling us differently. There are showers here that nobody can use or access. The owner upped the monthly rent 100 buck and charges 13 percent tax. The electric has went out on use three separate occasion and could not get anyone to see about it. First time I tracked it to the pole on the property and fixed it myself. Second time the same issue. Third time the self proclaimed park ranger accused another tenant of blowing the fuses hooking up a dryer I never seen moved. There are two gentlemen who think they have control over everything here. The staff is rude and the owner ghoul or whomever you spell his name is an asshole when approach with any complaint or need. There is no lighting in the slip at night for the boat launch. Every wed there is a bass tournament and people everywhere encroaching on you parking. I have seen the yardman twice. he has no regard for personal property. Another instance my neighbor got his power unplugged in the middle of the night with a lock on his box with no warning. I take he was out of town working which the power stayed on but when he didn't pay his lot rent immediately upon his return. I witnessed this personally. They locked him out which was less than one day upon return. I moved his camper two day later because he had to return to work. It destroyed his refrigerator and the smell I can't get rid of it. All in all I would stay clear of Parkside Marina Resort. I believe the electrical has messed something up with my camper. I have made friends with 4 people staying here and their complaints are as valid as mine. - madstormenterprisellc

This is a nice setting but terribly run down. Showers and restrooms are terrible: need a lot of work done. Laundry room has 1/3 of the washers and dryers out of order and is cleaned once a week: yep it was disgusting. Lots are fine.
Lot spacing was spacious with some shade. Site surface was dirt, featuring a fire ring and picnic table. - Tworetired

We were in a Premium site in campground 1. That meant we got a 3" steel pipe to dump in. Internet never worked while we were here. Gravel site. the restrooms were in a portable building with 4 individual rooms. 2 were locked so they wouldn't have so many to clean if they ever decided to clean. White showers were scummy brown 3/4 of the way up and the shower floors were actually black with mold. Both of the ones I saw were were filthy. There is a sign by one of the bathrooms that said because of state budget cuts they could not provide trash pickup anywhere near the campsites. We were in Tickfaw State Park and Fountainbleau State Park before we came here and they were beautiful parks with trash bins handy for all the campers. We were really disappointed after being in those nice parks. Won't be back. - Bjensen

We stayed in campground 1. The roads were full of potholes and sites did not have enough gravel so some sites were very muddy. Roads in campground were not marked and very confusing. Camping area needs to be updated. Power and water Pedestal and sewer location required extra lengths of hose and electric cable to reach which was inconvenient. - malojeer

Sometimes you end up at an RV park that gives you an appreciation for what qualities made a good RV park and those qualities are mostly missing at this one. The site pads are concrete, in the case of our site it was cracked and broken concrete. Most of the sites are occupied by full time residents, many of them with lots of "stuff" around their RV site. A large number of the residents seem to leave for work in their diesel trucks at about 5:30am. There are full hookups with cable. The sewer drain at my site was a plastic lined hole in the ground with a rock on top of it. They make a point that they have WiFi available at ALL sites. It's true, I could see a WiFi network connection on my device but most of the time I could not connect to it and if I could there was no service.
In my opinion, the condition of the bathrooms is the single most important indication as to how the management takes care of the park and how they view the guest. The bathrooms here show a complete lack of concern for maintenance, cleanliness and respect for their guests. They are the worst bathrooms I have seen at any RV park. They are dirty, broken, beaten up and not even supplied with toilet paper, soap or paper towels. Some of the bathrooms had doorways that were so warped that you couldn't close and latch the door.
Since there are mostly full time residents there aren't any other guest facilities. There is a building that is referred to as a "clubhouse" but the outside deck is full of old washers, dryers and other presumably non-working appliances. The main building has a nice deck that looks out over one of the ponds but there is a lack of chairs or sofas for guest use. Only one table with a couple of chairs with very dirty cushions on the back deck. It's nice to visit different RV parks and to experience their unique personalities. Unfortunately, this one has no personality. This is a Good Sam park which should be re-rated. We paid $26 per night, too much. - Coopsecondact

People friendly. Helped us get to our cite. Campsites were too close together. Lots of permanent or temporary long-term stay residence. Didn't feel safe. Very close, concrete pad sites. Mostly open area. OK for an overnight. - glohills

Easy on and off Interstate 10. Most sites have concrete pads, and some have concrete patios. No cable TV, but a good antenna signal. Wifi is good. Only negative is that some of the long-term residents allow their dogs to roam free. For those of us who use a leash and pick up, that is a problem. - ta96silver

Easy in and out from I-10. Open sites, some with concrete pads. Friendly staff and owners appear to live on-site. Reason for lower rating was a problem with high spikes in electric which caused our EMS system to shut off power to rig. We ended up leaving early and owners did provide refund for unused days. - Harry R

Electric 50/30/20 is good. Water pressure at 60psi sustains 40psi and low to the ground. Sewer is good. Services are located middle ways to the site. AT&T Cell phone is strong. Verizon 4GLTE Data signal is stronger than AT&T. Cable is good. Was grainy to begin with but is better. Owner is looking for a better service. Sites are mainly concrete and some on one side are gravel. Concrete sites have grass between them and enough room for slides and an awning. There are long term Tenants due to the construction of a refinery in Lake Charles. Satellite TV is easily accessible. Roads a asphalt or oiled gravel and other parts are all gravel. There are two laundries. One by the office and one near the back of the park. - TXBobcat

This is a great RV park. It is well manicured, and the staff is helpful and friendly! One night, the wind picked up during the middle of the night which woke me up and the owner was walking around to make sure nothing was flying around. He helped me move my rug and a few items so they wouldn't fly. My site had a table with chairs, sitting on a cemented patio next to a grass area. I put up my dog pen for my pugs. It is a quiet park with friendly campers. I always felt safe here (I'm female so that really counts). Across the street is a base ball park and on the side of that is a small park with a shaded and cushioned walking track which I used. I stayed here for over 2 months and hope to stay here again when in the area. - enjoyinglife

Very nice small park with easy access. Pull-through was long enough for our fiver and the truck. Very level. Water pressure, electric, and cable fine. Wi-Fi acceptable. Bathrooms clean. Small laundry room. No pool. Park is immaculately maintained and the owner is friendly and helpful and obviously takes great pride in his park. Far enough from I-10 to be fairly quiet. There is a large park across the street. - Luvtheroad

We didn't actually hook up to one of their RV sites, but rather dry camped (permitted by the Casino) in the rear parking lot. Staff were gracious and you can't beat the price! We enjoyed a great meal in the Casino restaurant - 3 courses for under $20! The only negative was the noise from the trains close by - tooted their horns as they approached the bridge all through the night! - Linsay
Jan 2012 - $17.00
This is the worst place we've ever stayed in 12 years of RVing. It should be avoided at all costs. This is a very tired casino and the RV parking area is the least of their problems. The staff is rude, many of the slot machines barely work and management doesn't seem to care. The sites are so tight that if someone parks on both sides of you, it's impossible to put out any slides. With the noise of the train in front of you, the highway bridge above you and the employees coming and going in their cars all night around you, it's almost impossible to hear the garbage truck idling in reverse beside you for 20 minutes. Our main motivation for stopping here was to get a good meal with some wine in the hotel. Unfortunately, the only decent restaurant in the place is closed Monday and Tuesday. If you need a place to stay around here, go to the nearest WalMart parking lot. - Johnnyonthespot

This is a bad experience. We had a confirmation number for our RESERVATION. Got to the rv park in plenty of time (1 hour before check-in time), but NO spot for us for the night. Somehow the reservation department OVERBOOKED their "8" spots. They were all full. It was like a Seinfeld episode. They know how to "TAKE" the reservation, they just don't know how to "HOLD" the reservation. The "HOLDING" of the reservation is the important part of the reservation itself. The hotel did give me a hotel room for free for the night, but that meant we had to deal with our pet and, clothes, food. Shame on them. - kmb1966

Located right next to the I-10 off-ramp on exit 43, this small park is pretty easy to spot. From the interstate, you have to make a hard right turn into the Shell station parking lot. Stay to right and you'll see the gate and park office. Check-in was easy. They take Good Sam but even with the discount, we still paid $46 for our overnight site. According to their price list (which you get at check-in) we should've only paid $40.45 plus tax so I'm guessing the rest of it was exorbitant tax. If you need a key card to go in and out of the gate, you pay a little extra. Sites in the middle are pull-thru, the perimeter has back-ins. The park has mostly longterm and permanent residents but it doesn't have a trailer park feel. Everyone kept their sites neat with minimum "stuff" sitting outside. The transient sites are in the first row of pull-thrus and they were full the night we were there.
If your rig has good sound insulation, then the 24/7 traffic noise won't bother you much. Internal roads and sites are all paved with grass between sites. The internal roads may be a bit narrow if you're a big rig and turning into your site might largely depend on if the truck in the site across from you is out on the road. Sites are level with hookups in the middle. They have a dog wash station which is outside next to the exit gate. There's no dog park, no pool, no playground (so not really family friendly). Wifi and cable worked fine. Water pressure was great. The park seems well-managed. There's a laundry room that's also open to the public but the park itself is gated. You can walk to several places around there to eat. It's right behind a McDonald's and a convenience store. Good for an overnight stop. - Flippitti

Stayed here for two nights on the way to Texas. Just off I-10. Park roads just slightly narrow but no trouble with our 40' motorhome pulling our toad. Park is gated and we felt very safe. Appears to be many monthly type residents that work in surrounding industry but all kept their places neat and clean and no noise in the evening. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. Led us to our site and recommended places to eat. If you like crawfish (and other authentic cajun dishes) try Bordeaux's Cajun Trio, just about a block from the park. We would definitely stay there again. - coastaltom

This park has the potential to be a real live resort but we felt it wasn't worth $45.00 per night. They don't even have cable TV. It had rained for several hours and the gravel/sand interior roads were a mess. The gravel/sand is like cement when it dries. Our campsite was flooded. It might be ok if it hasn't rained although Then it's probably really dusty. Lots of permanent people living there with stuff everywhere. Looks junky. Also there were cats running all over the park. I wouldn't stay here again unless the roads were paved. According to the information the monthly rate was only $450. Appears that short term visitors are footing the bill for the residents. - Debbie Lown

Loved it here. I was very worried from all the horrible reviews from it previously being Yogi Bear Park that it would be a horrible stay. But, we had no choice as this was the only place with two RV spots open. I was very surprised when we arrived. It is under new ownership and the people are very friendly and the park is very clean. The RV spots are gravel lots but they are very spacious! There is SO much for the kids to do from fishing, swimming, splash pad, water slide, mini golf and even a nice park like area. We will definitely stay here again!! - jamiengraves

If you're looking for a nice place to stay to use the L'Auberge casino, pool, etc., I thought this was pretty good. There are 15 level concrete pads with some grass and trees in between. I thought it was a reasonable amount of space between pads so it didn't feel too crowded. It has 50 amp power and water with nice, clean hookups, but there is no sewer hookup at the pad. There is, however, a dump station onsite. The weekend rate we paid was $50/night, but that includes use of the pool, which is actually much nicer than I had expected. It's about a 5 minute walk to the hotel/casino entrance, but if you call the valet stand they will send someone in a cart to take you if you don't want to walk. All employees I encountered were very friendly. Be aware there is free parking around the perimeter of the RV area, so you can dry camp if you want to. There are also several buses and 18-wheelers that park there, creating some extra noise. Overall, I enjoyed my stay and will definitely go again. - RedRaider1993

TOKYO — World and Olympic champion Lin Dan withdrew from the Japan Open on Saturday with an injured left foot, giving his teammate Chen Long a free ticket to the men's final.
Defending champion Lee Chong Wei of Malaysia earned the other place in Sunday's final when he eliminated two-time former Japan Open winner Peter Gade of Denmark 21-13, 21-16.
Chinese superstar Lin, the sport's biggest name and winner in Tokyo in 2004 and 2005, said the skin on his left foot came off after a tough match against another teammate, Chen Jin, in the quarter-finals on Friday.
"I was disappointed that I could not continue playing, but we have more tournaments for the race for the London Olympics, so I don't want to take a risk now," said Lin, 27.
