It seems like they'd eventually bring it to the Wii but i think there are a few considerations here

- People who own multiple consoles (x360 + wii for example) would simply buy it for x360 for the potential for DLC, digital audio output, earlier release etc. That's not to say there wouldn't be some deranged fanboys who'd "prefer" the wii version.
- When a console costs $250, a $200 game with peripherals is a hard sell to most people out there. That is not to say it will bomb, but if it is launched at any other time that christmas season I can't see it selling that well.
- I have a lingering feeling that online play, if included, would be nothing short of a joke. I also think it will be rated similarily to the ps2 version (low to mid 80s) as opposed to the PS3/X360 versions (mid 90s)

every single one of those points was brought up to predict why the wii version of GH3 was going to fail. we all know how that turned out.

why would anyone predict the wii version would "fail"? my only issue with some people's predictions were that they for whatever reason thought that the wii version would outsell the ps2 version which was completely baseless as we found out.

Hard to know how GH3 might have sold, since there are plenty of people who already had a guitar for PS2 and just grabbed the software update, while supplies of the unique Wii guitar have been constrained since release.

The only people I know with GH3 for Wii had to import a copy through Ebay.
