Famitsu numbers don't lie: Capcom's long-dormant samurai slasher just bodied the Japanese charts with 96,029 physical copies in week one. PS5 took the lion's share at 76,530 while Switch 2 chipped in 19,499, proving the new hardware is moving enough units to matter even against legacy platforms. Meanwhile Switch 2 itself topped hardware at 24,281 units sold, outpacing the entire Switch family combined.

Capcom already claimed over a million units moved worldwide on day one across all platforms, pushing the Onimusha series lifetime past 10 million. Physical retail in Japan still matters here, and the split shows PS5 whales dropped serious coin while Switch 2 buyers are showing up but not yet dominating the old guard's turf.

For a franchise sleeping twenty years, this is the kind of opening that makes gacha devs sweat. Capcom's revival game is working — now watch the digital numbers and Western charts to see if the momentum holds or if it's just Japan nostalgia tax.
