Also, Taiko Drum Master 3 on Wii is way low. Kinda surprised considering how well the series has sold before.

According to VGCs number the first week was nearly identical to the first week of the last game. The  last game opened with 29,929,and is at 397,535 now.

Yes, but traditionally, sequels on the same console open higher and have lower legs. This is due to the existing fanbase already there to pick up the new entry whenever it releases. There are always exceptions, it just seems really low.

Taiko on Wii's already one of these exceptions.  The 2nd game opened far lower than the first (Taiko Wii 1 = 100k fw, Taiko Wii 2 = 30k fw), yet had much better legs (Taiko Wii 1 sold 6.5x it's fw ltd, Taiko Wii 2 sold 13.3x it's fw ltd).  

I think we can probably expect Taiko Wii 3 to perform pretty similar to 2 though.
