Exactly, the physical version isn't exactly as readily available as many other games released. Gematsu reported that the physical version was only available via Amazon and Square Enix Store.
Either way I'm hyped. The game is reviewing well in Amazon Japan (well known troll reviewers aside). I have to think the imminent release of SMO is hindering people from purchasing other titles at the moment.
Edit: @Anti-Matter made it known that it is available elsewhere, so I stand corrected.
Correct me if I'm wrong but Media Create only tracks physical sales and Lost Sphear is more likely to be picked up digitally due to it's exclusivity to online stores (not a game one is able to purchase off a store shelf)? Is this not the case in Japan?
If true, this would greatly influence the numbers presented by Media Create.

You're right. I guess I read my source wrong. Thanks for the clarification.
