Overview
- In the two-week period to August 16, 2026, Rhythm Heaven Groove sold 139,363 physical retail copies and now has a boxed lifetime of about 873,839 units.
- Beast of Reincarnation launched on PlayStation 5 as the top new boxed release with 48,157 retail copies sold during the same span.
- Nintendo hardware again led boxed retail: Switch 2 moved 65,560 units while the PlayStation 5 family sold 19,955 and the combined older Switch models sold 15,020 units.
- Xbox boxed hardware registered only 135 units across the period, a stark contrast with competitors that signals very low physical demand for Microsoft’s consoles in Japan.
- Famitsu’s figures cover only Japanese physical retail and exclude digital downloads and overseas sales so the snapshot shows national retail trends that could affect store stocking, marketing plans, and how publishers judge physical demand.
