EA and Harmonix have only themselves to blame for not releasing Rock Band on Wii last year as it did on every other console. Because of that, Rock Band Wii will never reach its full potential sales-wise.

 

I think a lot of that has to due with hesitation. They probably wanted to see how GH3 would do first to see if it was worthwhile. But man was that hesitation a bad move haha, cause GH3 has almost sold 3 million WW on Wii and now has lost some brand appeal to its competitor. So it was a hesitation and its coming back to hurt them. Luckily for them there are a lot of mainstream buyers on the Wii and Rock Band should still have decent sales if not platinum itself. But Rock Band 2 will have to be a "full" version and really compete with GH4 if they want to compete on that platform.

Agreed.  I do think Rockband will go platinum now that I just learned that it's going to get a full and competent localization in Japan.  I think it might even take off there.
