The verdict? For some reason handheld Taikos still always outsell their console big brothers, every single time :P

Taiko PSP DX landed second on launch, and the sales numbers are very impressive for its first week! Now if only I had some hardware numbers so I could do more number crunching.

EDIT: Hardware numbers not significant- Nintendo 3DS outsold PSP 2:1 due to the new Flame Red color for the console being released.
