Feature: Taiko Sales Figures Comeback - The Digital Share





This is a sequel feature to our first overall look at the general sales figures in Taiko no Tatsujin games, where we took a look at the accountable physical software sales from every Taiko no Tatsujin title that has been made, up to the Ps Vita trilogy.



One big hindrance to our former researching efforts was the incapability to supply a consistent look at the overall sales of the more recent games in the series, as digital downloads have become a sizable feature for modern Taiko gaming and many sales figures usually don't incorporate the digital sales with the physical versions. As the interest for digital sales data has increased in the past few years and more platforms over the Internet have risen up to account the newborne share of the gaming market, we've come back to update the overall figure sales of the more recent Taiko titles, starting with the first games with accounted digital versions (the 3DS trilogy) and ending up with the PS4 Taiko addition as an overall newcomer to our research.



Together with the sources credited by us on our first sales research feature, we want to give a shoutout to the Game Data Library, a website which has gathered both digital and physical sales data for the Japanese market's videogame sales, with the digital figures being based on Famitsu's Digital Top 30 and the PlayStation Store Estimates.



DISCLAIMER: As the digital sales figures aren't recorded for games that don't manage to become top-sellers on the Famitsu charts, the digital section for all games will also report the period of time without any data updates from the most recent data reveal to this post's original publishing data, March 11th.



It's also important to remember that our source only deals with the Japanese videogame sales, so we're left with nothing once again for the alternate-language versions of many of the Taiko titles being listed below.




Nintendo 3DS Games


Taiko no Tatsujin Chibi Dragon to Fushigi na Orb boxart



Taiko no Tatsujin Chibi Dragon to Fushigi na Orb

LTD sales            - 149.630



Digital

LTD sales - 2.742

Months Without Data: 5



Global LTD sales - 152.372



Starting with the 3DS Taiko games, we can see how the sales of the three games have been slightly increased over time from our first look, with the lifetime sales for Dokodon! Mystery Adventure being doubled overall. Be it for the novelty factor of the digital purchase function or the second 3DS game's long-lasting impact, Don to Katsu no Jikuu Daibouken is the biggest seller of the trio on the digital front, nearing the 10.000 purchases.



As for the first title, its digital version never made it to the top sports of any of the Japanese market's publicly-released digital charts, so we don't know the kind of impact it had for that game, as well for other similar cases we're going to discuss later on.




Nintendo Wii U Games





Taiko no Tatsujin Wii U Version



Physical

First Week sales - 17.518

LTD sales            - 179.818

LTD sales - 1.479

Months Without Data: 1



Global LTD sales - 181.287



Taiko no Tatsujin Tokumori



Physical

First Week sales - 11.769

LTD sales            - 78.291



Digital

LTD sales - 493

Months Without Data: 11



Global LTD sales - 78.785



Taiko no Tatsujin Atsumete★Tomodachi Daisakusen



Physical

First Week sales - 11.989

LTD sales            - 45.166



Digital

Sales Figures Unknown



Global LTD sales - ~45.166



With the Wii U titles, we've spotted the biggest data discrepancy with the sources that we've consulted for the preparation of the former sales feature, as the lifetime overall sales for both Tokumori and Atsumete★Tomodachi Daisakusen appear to be lower than the values detected as part of our first findings.



It doesn't help the release period of these two titles either: being November-launched games, the Wii U games' release date had to compete with other Christmas contenders, resulting into very little sales data overall for the digital side. Once again, being on arguable the least-selling console of its time, didn't help, either...




PlayStation Vita Games





Taiko no Tatsujin V Version



Physical

First Week sales - 46.101

LTD sales            - 102.758



Digital

LTD sales - 9.814

Months Without Data: 4



Global LTD sales - 112.572



The iDOLM@STER Must Songs Red Album / Blue Album



Physical

First Week sales - 23.349

LTD sales            - 24.453



Digital

LTD sales - 2.665

Months Without Data: 0



Global LTD sales - 27.118



As V Version didn't make it to the physical top charts since our first overview, the situation hasn't been changed that much since then, with its accounted digital share becoming the highest yet accounted for a Taiko no Tatsujin game. Once again, we also had data conflicts for the figures of the two Idolm@ster games combines, with the overall LTD data resulting lower to the Game Data Library than our first recovered value from other sources.




PlayStation 4 Games





Taiko no Tatsujin Session de Dodon ga Don



Physical

First Week sales - 28.245

LTD sales            - 59.824



Digital

LTD sales - 6.795

Months Without Data: 1



Global LTD sales - 66.619



Last in line is the the PS4 Taiko debut game, which has already managed to outsell the final Wii U title in roughly 5 months! It's also the home console game with the highest digital share to date.
