I have not seen ONE positive feedback on this "game". Hell even the paid people in Nintendo advertisements look as if they are bored to hell.

 

Just remember that the only people who have played Wii Music so far have been "video game journalists" -- and many of them just plain do not like Nintendo this generation - be it because of graphics, games, or whatever. These same people made a lot of positive comments about Lair -- until it was released. So they cannot necessarily be trusted. So Wii Music might be a lot better than we have been told -- or it could be like the DK Barrel Blast for the Wii. We don't really know yet.

Now, back to the post topic.

The issue is which game will sell more. Anyone with half a brain can tell you that LBP is the better game. However, it will be outsold. LBP may be accessible, but the PS3 is generally not thought to be an accessible console, so that is not relavent. What is relavent is that there are many millions of more Wiis (twice as many consoles) and that Wii in the title will be attractive to a lot of the minimalist players who have the little white console from Nintendo.

I personally plan on getting Wii Music and putting it under my Christmas Tree. It will be fun to jam with my 6-year-old son ... and my usually not playing wife might also get involved. But even at that, I can see that Wii Music is not for everyone -- and it may not even have many (if any) game elements. But it will outsell LBP because of its built-in advantageous.
