      Spanish scientists: EnChroma glasses won’t fix your color blindness
      Users aren't really seeing new colors, just the same colors in a different way.

        Kinda common sense there. How could a filter possibly change what colour receptors are in your eye? What were people thinking?

            Modern U.S. media truly is becoming the enemy of the people.

              Actually these do work for some folks. My FIL has a pair and without them, he's totally color blind -- I'm talking shades of gray color blind. He got a pair a couple of years ago and he could make out colors with them. He mainly uses them now when working on vehicles or electronics. He never realized his kitchen was bright pink, lol. (That's another story though).

                They don't ACTUALLY work, they can't, that's the point. Colours aren't sensed that way. It's impossible for something like this to allow someone colour blind to see colours for which they do not have receptors. It can enhance colours, shift them, or filter out noise making people feel like maybe they see more colours - but it's cones in the eyes that allow you to see colour and if you don't have them, you simple don't have them. No shift or change in light coming into the eye can affect that.

                If you think about it, someone who is colour blind cannot possibly tell you if they are seeing the colours or not, that people who use the glasses report a change is one thing, but reporting new colours is simply something that they cannot assess.

                    If a game was at 3 million sales in a week in Japan, are you excluding Japan sales numbers in announcing that the game now has 4 million worldwide sales?

                    Because if not, that means the game tanked outside of Japan.

                      That definitely sounds like it did not sell well outside of Japan.

                        This article seems to confirm that, but still calls it a hit?

                          Sounds like it might be enough to keep them doing localizations. I guess that that is a win.
