Famitsu has posted the latest data for boxed sales in Japan, and it’s Rhythm Heaven Groove that takes the top spot once again. Not only that, but consistent sales have now put the Switch game at over 1 million total boxed sales in the region. Pretty neat.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the next big success of the week, with PS5 sales totalling 19,654 and Switch 2 totalling 7,070. This means that combined sales actually put it above Rhythm Heaven Groove. Worldwide sales for the game topped 1 million in just a single day, so we’re expecting Capcom to announce another major milestone any day now.
