It just keeps going. Famitsu has posted the latest data for boxed sales in Japan, and it's Rhythm Heaven Groove that takes the top spot once again.
Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — Nintendo Life
It ranks mainly on source trust: Nintendo Life is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.
| Factor | Weight | Score | Contribution | Where it came from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Corroboration | 0.35 | 0.39 | +0.135 32% | 1 independent org on the story. Tier-3 aggregators never corroborate — they can show something is circulating, never that it is true. |
| Source trustleads | 0.25 | 0.70 | +0.175 42% | Nintendo Life is the highest-trust source on this story. Trust is taken from the best source, not averaged. |
| Pickup rate | 0.20 | 0.00 | +0.000 0% | One counted organisation, so there is no spread to measure — nothing has picked this up to set a rate. |
| Freshness | 0.20 | 0.53 | +0.107 26% | Halves every 10 hours from the newest item on the story. This is the only factor that rewards a story for nothing more than being recent. |
Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
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. 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. com
