Switch 2 moved 28,341 units in Japan last week while the whole Switch family scraped together just 7,559 and PS5 family hit 7,494. Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword led software on PS5 with 19,654 copies for the week and 96,184 lifetime after a strong 76,530 debut week prior. Rhythm Heaven Groove clawed back to number one on Switch with 24,756 units sold, pushing the rhythm game past 1,000,045 total physical sales in Japan.
Onimusha also moved 7,070 on Switch 2 for a combined 26,569 lifetime on the new hardware, showing Capcom's 20-year gap revival still has legs even split across platforms. The week-over-week Switch 2 bump from 24,281 to 28,341 looks modest next to the August monthly dip to 139,165 units, a 57% year-over-year drop tied to that May price hike to 59,980 yen. PS5 family sales ticked up slightly in the same period.
Rhythm Heaven Groove's million-seller milestone lands on the original Switch while the new hardware keeps feeding Splatoon Raiders and Mario Kart World steady numbers in the top ten. Capcom's global Onimusha launch cleared one million units on day one with the series crossing ten million lifetime, but Japan's physical charts tell the story of who actually bought the thing this week. Switch 2 still owns the hardware crown, but the volume screams the same thing every gacha whale already knows: momentum costs yen.
