In the battle of sales in the land of the rising sun it´s long been claimed that thirdparties don´t sell on Wii. But Namco-Bandai´s Taiko Drum Master Wii (currently the top selling thirdparty title on Wii) is a seller with some great legs. While it´s debut were not huge it´s now slowly catching up to Metal Gear Solid 4 (the biggest third party selling title in Japan)

According to Famitsu:

Metal Gear Solid 4  700k

Taiko Drum Master  560k

That´s 140 k to go but with the legs Taiko´s got I think it will make it. What do you think?

For the record, the biggest selling Taiko game in Japan is for PS2 with 743 k according to Famitsu. Maybe Wii version will outsell that one too?

of all the games you could choose why MGS4???

Because it´s currently number 1 in Japan by thirdparties and Taiko Drum Master is nr 2.
I´m intrested in sales and think that the race between the two could be one to look at. I would like to hear what you think of the sales between the two.

I´m not bashing Metal Gear Solid 4 in any way, apparently it did very good in Japan and other wise.

Seriously, its answered in his opening.  Just read.

Not shocking

Taiki has a larger market to sell to, if it doesn't outsell MGS4, that would be shameful to it

EDITED:



Ohh.....



Meh....
Guess it's not counting handhelds...

I have no doubt a casual game like taiko drum master will go past mgs4, since casual gamers don't really care what they buy as long as it can be played.

ooooooooh no.....he edited the op, it did not say all that

yeah he did edit the OP!
