It has still been the slowest moving title in the Wii series.

- despite the current marketing effort in support of Wii Music
- despite a basic lack of Nintendo games this season
- despite record breaking hardware sales (strongest to date)
- despite being targeted at new users who want the different Wii style game experience

And despite having been in development since the very inception of the Wii. It's not like the game was an unfinished concept or lacked any of the polish people expect of a Nintendo game.

Nobody can claim there is currently any game that is cannibalizing Wii Music sales, so there really isn't any excuse.

About the only thing that can be blamed is the basic concept itself, which some have tried to interpret as a high-browed approach to music games while ignoring that the basic appeal of Wii series games is instant accessibility for anyone, regardless of gaming (or non-gaming) background.

It was a given it would eventually pass the million seller mark, and should still continue to sell at a consistent rate, even after the holiday season, but when compared with Wii Fit (not an entirely fair comparison) the type of sales rates Wii Music has been seeing is hardly anything to celebrate and praise.

 

 I agree. It has been in work for 2 years, and only manages a few million! Pff, Nintendo sure screwed themselves over here.

What? It was the 2nd best selling music console game in Japan? Well... It didn't beat Wii fit!

That's not a fair comparison you say? Well, I have to agree on that. What game, any game, can be compared to Wii Fit in success? It is going to be the best selling non-bundled console game ever. What can you compare to it? Pokemon, Mario Kart and Grand Theft Auto. Not really anything else.

 

Compare Wii Music to something that is fair. I could agree with you on Brain Training for instance.

 

Bottom line. Wii Music is going to sell roughly as well as Guitar Hero 3 did on Wii - which is currently the best selling 3rd party game on Wii.
