A quick disclaimer: I have absolutely zero idea if this is a joke thread or not, so forgive me for taking something here seriously if I'm not supposed to. Okay, to business.
I felt somewhat the same way after E3 (albeit to a much lesser extent). The game was just not well-presented there; it was a mess from start (the idiotic drummer) to finish (the execs who obviously couldn't play).
Then I saw more recent videos of the game in action, and I've started to think that Miyamoto hasn't lost his touch at all. Seriously, look up the TGS videos. It's almost a night and day difference, and Nintendo should be ashamed for butchering this thing at E3.
The mechanics of the game are actually really, really promising. I can see a lot of people having a lot of fun with the game, especially if you've always liked music but never had the time or talent to invest in learning real instruments. The prediction of selling 2 million in Japan alone no longer seems outlandish, it seems conservative. I do think this title will be big, but I think it will be big because it deserves to be, not just because of the name.
I know a lot of you don't want to give this game a chance, but judging from what I've seen you'll be missing out on what seems like a great title indeed.
Edit: This is what I meant about E3.
It's a little hard to not get turned off by that...
