Overview
- Famitsu’s July 13–19 snapshot shows Rhythm Heaven Groove sold 76,786 physical copies that week, bringing its lifetime boxed total to about 596,237 in Japan.
- Nintendo’s Switch 2 led hardware sales with 24,928 units that week and a boxed lifetime of roughly 6,051,859 units, keeping it ahead of other consoles in retail charts.
- Several new releases posted modest boxed openings: eBaseball: PRO SPIRIT 2026 (PS5) opened at 20,661, Kyoto Xanadu sold 15,431 on Switch and 13,206 on PS5 for a combined 28,637, and Culdcept BEGINS (Switch 2) opened at 12,734.
- Coverage notes a softening in weekly Switch 2 unit counts following this year’s price increase, a trend visible in the boxed-only hardware totals reported by Famitsu.
- Famitsu’s numbers cover only Japan’s physical retail and omit digital downloads and international sales, so these boxed snapshots show retail trends but do not alone determine overall market success.
