The story
The Famitsu Top 30 update sparked discussion on 5ch’s Hardware/Industry (“Geha”) board. While some declared “Liz and the Angel” a confirmed million-seller, the new Switch title “Bubble Bobble: Sugar Dungeon Boost” reportedly flopped hard, failing to even crack 900 copies sold — and a correction was issued after it was mislabeled as a console exclusive.
Posters also noted that PS5 physical copies seem to be vanishing from store shelves, and compared Switch 2 and PS5 sales using an Amazon sales-rank coefficient.

Thought it'd be 28-2, but it snuck in right at the very last second — my scrolling finger was shaking like crazy.

Don't get cocky over just 2,800 copies…

Feels like we've entered a gaming recession. Neither software nor hardware is selling anymore.

Breaking it down by platform would make it even clearer.

Wait, Breath of the Wild was the Switch 2 Edition for two weeks straight, but this week it's the regular Switch version?

Tracks with the console sales numbers.

And this number is already half of what it was last week.

Re: #34
Then next week it'd be 1,500 — if that's just barely enough to stay in the top 30…

Goemon was at 4,000 last week and now it's just vanished.

Looks like it's out of stock again.

Could Liz and the Angel actually hit a million? (Probably already there if you count digital.)
Re: #42
It's not 'could' — it's confirmed.
Probably the last physical million-seller on Switch.

I think it'll get there by early October at the latest.

Switch exclusive Bubble Bobble: Sugar Dungeon Boost couldn't even sell 900 copies, total flop wwwwwwww
Re: #52
I get that it stings, but it's not actually an exclusive.

Re: #52
There's a PS5 digital version too, so it's not exclusive — it's just not on the (physical) chart.

Tokon… where…?
Re: #60
Under 900 copies is brutal… it's probably such a pathetic number that even padding the stats couldn't squeeze it into 30th place.

Re: #74
Fewer stores carrying it in the first place, so the ratio comes out lower too.

I thought 'Trashtation' (derogatory nickname for PS) ditching physical releases was still a long way off? Has it really fallen to Xbox's level, which never had physical releases to begin with?
Re: #83
Full discontinuation isn't until the year after next, but retailers have no obligation to stick around that long.
There's no reason to give shelf priority to a console and its games once everyone knows they'll stop being profitable the year after next.
Plenty of PS stock clearance and shelf-space cuts have already been spotted this Obon shopping season.

What about Tokon? What about Pro Spirits?
Re: #93
Both of them are basically stuffed into the bargain grab-bins now, lol

So both Pro Spirits and Honogurashi dropped off the chart, huh
Pro Spirits passed 30,000 but Honogurashi probably hasn't even hit 10,000.
