In the interest of fairness, Wii Music actually does score you (in certain modes, at least). I don't know how that changes things from your perspective, but I wouldn't say that makes the game as a whole goal driven. On the other hand, I agree Wii Sports has clear goals, but not to any greater extent than what is necessitated by the competitive nature of sports in general. People expect to "win" at sports. Scores are a natural extention of that. Wii Fit and Wii Music do not simulate inherently competitive events - perhaps that is the primary reason for the apparent discrepancy in design principles?
