Am I missing something? Just based on physical sales, Arise sold 84k in 2021, and it did not place in Famitsu's Top 100 of 2022 (the cut off was 33k). Meanwhile, Elden Ring sold 144k in 2022 and Hogwarts has so far sold 164k and is still charting weekly. And that's not to mention a bundle game like GT7 which is at 304k.

Hmm, maybe I'm thinking of another stat. Looking into it a bit more, I think maybe it's the only game to sell >200K copies first week on PS4/PS5 since the PS5's launch?

for some reason I thought Arise didn't do well. whoops. I was just under the impression that Japanese gamers weren't buying physical games anymore for some reason. I know that the latest Trails games bombed, but that could just be because they're bad / Falcom can't market their way out of a paper bag

Yeah, Kuro specifically has been doing poorly, even compared to Reverie. I think Falcom really needs to focus on the Switch in Japan if they want to get their sales up.
