Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun sold through 50% of its initial shipment in Japan

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun premiered in Japan last week. For the period ending July 22, the title managed to sell 70,000 copies. Dengeki also reports a 50% sell-through rate.

This is actually one of the better debuts for a Taiko no Tatsujin game in quite some time. It beat out the last couple of 3DS entries, though it fell short of Taiko no Tatsujin Wii which sold 115,000 units in its first week.

Taiko no Tatsujin: Drum ‘n’ Fun should continue to sell in the weeks and months ahead. These titles tend to be evergreen releases, with Taiko no Tatsujin Wii as one example going on to sell over 650,000 copies in the end.
