Aside from praising them for selling a million copies...I have to ask, why are you praising them for "thinking outside the box" with this game? Wii Music is doing nothing more than what Rock Band did last year...even less actually. At least RB is interactive. With Wii Music, you're still pretty much using an air guitar or air drums

Oh child.

Oh my sweet, ignorant little child.

 

I weep for thy ignorance, and pray that it is rectified someday.

 

What? There's no ignorance in what I said

There's the gameplay. Drop that Wiimote and Nunchuk and you doing the same thing you were doing when you were 5. At least something like Guitar Hero takes some hand eye coordination.  Try and prove the video evidence wrong...please and thank you.

If you tell me that vibrating the nunchuk up and down is more innovative, or at least in your sense, makes my statement "ignorant", than actually matching fast paced notes on screen (which in actuality, learning guitar is VERY similar because instead of notes on a screen, you have tabs on a piece of paper), then...well, there's nothing more to say. I'll give up

 

Ah yes. It's always fun to see the people that are obviously completely ignorant about what this game is about racking down on it. That video is a great case in point. It's sort of the same thing as my friends and family thinking playing Guitar Hero was totally mindless and stupid. And then they play it themselves...

I'll just use the words of the nintendo representative: "Music is just noise with an idea behind it". Unless you understand this simple fact, Wii Music is not going to make any sense at all. Unless you can exploit this fact, Wii Music is going to be a horrible experience.

It's a hardcore game, made for a niche audience. I agree with Montana Hatchet when he says that 1 million was always certain. What is interesting is how the game will fare after christmas. How much of the games sales have depended on the christmas rush, and how much of it is genuin legs? These are important questions, and will determine the sales in the future. It could stop selling pretty rapidly from here, or it could go on to make 5 million... I'm still not certain.
