Onimusha Tops Japan Boxed Charts as Switch 2 Leads Hardware Sales

Overview

• Famitsu's weekly physical-retail snapshot for the week of Aug. 31–Sept. 6 shows Onimusha: Way of the Sword opened at 76,530 copies on PS5 and 19,499 on Switch 2 for a combined retail total of 96,029 units.
• Switch 2 led hardware boxed sales that week with 24,281 units sold and a reported lifetime retail figure of about 6.27 million units, while the broader Switch family sold 11,591 units and the PS5 family sold 7,760 units.
• Nintendo catalog releases continued to drive boxed demand at retail, with Rhythm Heaven Groove selling 29,360 copies that week (bringing its cumulative boxed total near 975,289) and Splatoon Raiders adding 10,267 boxed sales.
• Xbox boxed presence in Japan remains negligible in retail terms, with Famitsu reporting just 127 Xbox Series units sold that week, underscoring regional platform preferences in physical supply.
• Famitsu's figures cover only Japan's physical retail market and exclude digital and overseas sales, so the chart reflects retail buying patterns that can guide store stocking and publishers' decisions about future boxed releases.
