Famitsu Boxed Charts Show Elliot Selling 38,517 Copies as Switch 2 Leads Hardware

The weekly boxed-only snapshot highlights platform splits and early demand but does not capture digital downloads or overseas sales, which are needed to judge full success.

Overview

  • Famitsu published its estimated physical game sales for the week of June 15–21, 2026, reporting the latest boxed rankings and hardware totals for Japan.
  • Square Enix’s The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales opened to a combined 38,517 retail copies, with 23,674 sold on Switch 2 and 14,843 on PlayStation 5.
  • Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream returned to number one on the weekly boxed chart with 34,957 physical sales during the same period.
  • Nintendo’s Switch 2 led Japan’s hardware sales that week with 26,435 units sold and a tracked lifetime of about 5.94 million units, a momentum analysts link to recent price movement in the region.
  • All figures are for boxed retail in Japan only, so they understate total demand because they exclude digital downloads and overseas sales and therefore do not alone determine a title’s commercial success.
