Please remember that these sales figures only refer to the physical copies of the games.

Let's face it: this one has been a sad week for gaming in general. Still, Bandai Namco's latest Taiko no Tatsujin portable game for PS Vita managed to climb to Japan's Top 3 most sold titles, despite being a more costly title than the previously-released 3DS games and... well... being a Ps Vita game. Other two newcomer titles block the Taiko title's race to the lead, with new entries for the always-popular Yokai Watch and Ace Attorney series.

While not reaching the sales figure of 3DS 1 and 2's launch weeks (respectively 55.950 and 53.095 physical units), portable Taiko gaming still confirms itself to be a very-much appreciated topic, even on less-selling gaming platforms!
