Hey guys, just wondering if any of you had any figures or info about which bemani series are the most popular in japan and worldwide.
Here in europe it seems obvious that DDR is the most popular, followed by IIDX, and then all the others (Pop'n, GF&DM...).
Things seem to be different in japan (I'd say pop'n and iidx are much more successful there), but I couldn't find any figures.
thanx =)

In Japan: IIDX, shortly followed by Pop'n
Everywhere else in the world (Except a few asian countries): DDR | |

In my country it would be (from most popular to least):
1. DrumMania
2. Guitar Freaks
3. Dance Dance Revolution
4. Dance ManiaX
5. pop'n music and beatmania 5-key - TIED

In this state, DDR is the most popular, despite the fact that the general population:
A. doesn't know how to play.
B. is too lazy to try some of the harder songs.
C. interprets a "really good player" as someone who can beat Butterfly on Standard.

A lot of arcades will carry some form of IIDX while in the Metropolitan Tokyo area I'm inclined to think that the arcades there keep up with the latest versions of IIDX and pop'n.

Actually - in terms of sheer numbers - pop'n is more popular than IIDX. Stick around an arcade long enough and you'll see more people play pop'n than IIDX.
However - IIDX seems to have a more dedicated fanbase than pop'n does. More of the same people will frequent the same machine more often than a typical pop'n machine. I personally know a dozen friends that I play with while I'm here, while only a few from pop'n - even just from lazing around.
This is strictly from a local perspective though. I've not much information according to national statistics.

Pop'n is definitely #1 in Japan for the amount of players and money made. I've been to arcades with as many as 3 machines on a single floor. I had trouble finding IIDX machines sometimes, but DM and GF were almost always there. I'd actually go out and say DM is the next for popularity in terms of play. Last I heard from the charts for arcade games, Pop'n was #1 and DM was like 3rd? IIDX was 7th I believe. I'm not sure how current that was but it gives you a general idea. | |

i think IIDX CSes would be popular in Japan
and, for the most popular BEMANI Games in Indonesia would be
DDR, followed by drummania (no IIDX  ) | |

People keep saying mixed stuff about what is most popular in Japan...
But one thing doesn't change: Pop' Music is one of the most popular bemani in japan...
SO I think we can safely assume that Pop'n IS the most popular in Japan?  | |

North america: DDR (why), IIDX, ITG, GitaDora, Pump, Popn, I think I mightve ordered it a bit wrong though
Latin America: Pump
Japan: Popn, IIDX, Gitadora, DDR (this is just speculation, seeing as how there are people who visited/living in japan)
Europe: IIDX, DDR, Pump, Popn, ITG(?) (again speculation)
