Roughly a week has gone since the latest big console Taiko game's coming, which means for us that it's time for a sneak peek at how has the launch window period been for the first home console game in Sony fields after years.

There's no surprise to state how the Japanese audience loves their portable Taiko gaming the most, but Session de Dodon ga Don's chart debut has quite the low early-adopter ratio, despite the targeted system's huge user base. Moving a little bit more than 28.000 copies, Taiko's PS4 debut is barely lower than some of the former PS2 console entries, making it to a 5th place for its debut in a week that has also seen a number of big names coming to Japan as well. As for Session de Dodon ga Don's Famitsu ratings, we've been left empty-handed for once...

In case some of you are asking if/how we will integrate newer sales figures into last year's sales figures-centric Feature post, we're still thinking about something to address those altogether in a later instance...
