Tomodachi Life Tops Famitsu Boxed Charts as The Adventures of Elliot Opens at 38,517

Japan-only retail figures show Switch 2 strength, highlighting that digital and international results are needed to assess full market performance.

Overview

  • Famitsu’s week of June 15–21 boxed-sales report, published via Gematsu, shows Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream returned to No. 1 with 34,957 physical copies sold and The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales launched with a combined 38,517 retail copies.
  • Square Enix’s The Adventures of Elliot sold 23,674 copies on Switch 2 and 14,843 copies on PlayStation 5 in its opening week, making it the highest-selling new release in the boxed charts.
  • Switch 2 led hardware sales for the week with 26,435 units sold and a tracked lifetime total of about 5.94 million units, while the PlayStation 5 family sold 9,449 units and legacy Switch models combined for 5,467 units.
  • Konami’s Powerful Pro Baseball 2026-2027 moved 28,409 boxed units during the same week and continued to appear among the top sellers alongside enduring titles like Pokémon Pokopia and Mario Kart World.
  • Famitsu’s numbers cover only Japanese physical retail and exclude digital downloads and overseas sales, so observers treat the weekly boxed snapshot as a partial indicator of demand and look to digital and international data for a fuller picture.
