Rhythm Heaven Groove Moves 393,378 Boxes as Switch 2 Leads Japan’s Physical Hardware Sales

Strong boxed sales reinforce Nintendo’s continued appeal in Japan’s physical market.

Overview

  • Famitsu’s weekly boxed-sales report for the week of June 29–July 5 shows Rhythm Heaven Groove sold 393,378 physical copies in its first week, the largest new-release boxed total that period.
  • The same Famitsu snapshot reports Switch 2 as Japan’s top boxed-selling console that week with 32,797 units and a tracked lifetime total near 5.998 million units.
  • Konami’s Ganbare Goemon Daishuugou! debuted on Switch with 60,428 boxed copies and on PS5 with 8,773 boxed copies according to Famitsu’s chart.
  • Expanded top-30 rankings published July 10 confirm ongoing boxed sales for recent Nintendo titles such as Tomodachi Life and Pokemon Pokopia, showing multi-title depth in physical demand.
  • These figures cover only Japan’s physical retail channel and exclude digital downloads and overseas sales, so full commercial performance will depend on unreported digital and international results and future sales trends.
