While yes, the latest home console Taiko games coming to the West is the one Taiko-related news that is on everyone's mouth, we still have to see how has the Switch game fared in its homelands for its launch period! Luckilly for us, we have Media Create figures once again to aid us for drawing the bigger picture.

With almost 70.000 physical units moved within the first 4 days from its release, not only the Nintendo Switch debut Taiko title has been crowned as this week's biggest seller in Japan, but it can also bolster the highest launch-week sales records for the series in years! For comparison, it's higher than any of the single games' launch week sales for the Wii U games and the other titles on currently-active hardware (3DS, Ps Vita and PS4). Compared to Session de Dodon ga Don, it has moved more than double the units in the debut period!
