See that? That's why. BOTH console Taiko made top 10 of 2010 on their respective console sales. The numbers are units shifted from the time it was released to the end of 2010. Nothing beat Pokemon B/W, of course, except maybe Monster Hunter Portable 3, but that's not on this list. Wii Party was top of the Wii sales, indicating casual power hasn't waned completely yet.
