What Little Big Planet has going...
For it - Outselling Wii Music by around ~15k a week and increasing. The game of the year version just released. On pace to overtake Wii Music in about 10 weeks.
Against it - Still has the 200k deficit to overcome, possible that recent surge in sales will die down now that the game of the year version has been out for awhile. Maybe the PSP game releasing could hurt the sales of this version?
What Wii Music has going...
For it - Currently has the sales lead. Possible that the recent Wii price cut will cause an increase in sales for the game. So far "Wii" titles have always sold really well during the holidays.
Against it - Being outsold on a weekly basis. New potential "evergreen" titles may reduce sales even further.
