Prediction: Of all the current and future Wii * games, Wii Music will have the lowest sales.


Huge hit in Japan

Mediocre in Others

Disappointment in the USA


The mass market - the same people buying Wii - are more than happy with Guitar Hero, so it will mainly be purchased for (I hate to say it because it's such a snobcore cliche) children, but just in the USA and Others. Japan will be huge on Wii Music among all age groups, it fits better into their culture, where the rock music of Guitar Hero isn't so strong.

(Malstrom fans: I know Wii Music is not a Guitar Hero copycat. The mass market doesn't.)


Wii Sports Resort will redeem the Wii * series of games with monster sales.  Motion Plus is the second coming of Wii.

 

Did you know that rock music was huge in Japan. Not just J-pop rock but American-British rock as well. Rythm games are also really popular the problem is that Guitar Heroes is basically Guitar Freaks and they have been playing that game in arcades for years.

I also think that this game will succeed far more in Europe than US because of how casual that game is and how expansive are the Guitar Hero and Rockand over there.

Thanks for the correction, I didn't know Japan had a guitar game.

 

 

Yeah. GuitarFreaks is pretty much the same as Guitar Hero. It's done by Konami just like DDR. Red Octane and Harmonix just add the great idea to make the game for the west and bundle it with a guitar controller.
