Rhythm Heaven Groove keeps Japan dancing, hauling another 126k physical units in its second week to push lifetime past half a million. Nintendo's rhythm revival is eating the charts alive while new releases like Magical Girl Witch Trials open at a modest 21k and Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced manages 17k physical on PS5. Switch 2 hardware moved 28k units, still the top seller but nothing to write home about next to the software momentum.

This is classic Japanese retail behavior—rhythm games like this one thrive on physical copies and word-of-mouth, not digital whales or battle passes. The fact it's holding strong after a 393k launch week shows the series still has legs in its home market, even with a decade-plus gap. Meanwhile the rest of the top 10 is mostly new mid-tier drops fighting for scraps.

Switch 2's hardware numbers staying in the high 20ks this deep into its lifecycle tells you everything about where player attention actually sits right now. Japan loves its rhythm minigames more than another console refresh.
