=/ I am not saying it is the fault of Wii music that the other games I mention have bad sales (or probably will have bad sales *Sky crawlers).

Well I see it more as a painter who spends tens of hours to create a really nice painting but at the end only can sell it for a few 100$ when someone else drops just some paint on a paper and get millions for it...

Okay, this is exactly what I'm disagreeing with. If it's Wii Music we're talking about, how do you know if Zack & Wiki or NMH took that much more effort? Others like Carnival Games is probably a different story, though I know little about it.

 

To add to this ... Is "effort" really a good measure for the value of a creative work? If you had one of the great artists produce a simple sketch in 20 minutes would it necessarily be a worse work than something a student produced over a semester?

Very good point. I guess the issue is, when people make money off things that are easy, effortless, and not very brilliant (in their opinion), it angers them. They hate when people get rich off of stuff like the Pet Rock. I admit I'm a little guilty of this at times, too.
