I hope it's better this time around.  Or rather, more mainstream consumable.

It's funny that it is considered a failure when it actually sold more than most exclusive PS3 or 360 games, even more than some multiplatform titles that are considered a success. It's at 2.88 million at the moment btw.

It was the lack of hardware pushing that mattered most, I guess.

Its only funny to ppl like yourself, that only scale Success of Failure based numbers. Look at FFXIV its over nearing 1mill by now without the console and its universally regarded as a failure currently.

They said they are changing things for the possible Wii Music 2.

Great news. I hope they make a good music game out of it. 

Sorry Miyamoto, no.

Just ..... let it die.

This time, put in good music, and have a virtual drumset using two motion , and a music editor, and I'll buy it for sure.

Do it like the previous, and you lose my respect.

Nintendo thinks that when a game isn't recieved well they need to make it more "accessible". Like Super Mario Galaxy 2. So expect it to be worse on that front, not better.

The fact it that music composition can't be made accessible even by Nintendo. It requires a long learning curve with specialist software, a grounding in music theory, and probably being able to play at least the piano (keyboard). Waggle won't fix that, you can't even make a good track in Mario Paint's composer without understanding those things.

NB: I can't compose or play an instrument. But I'd like to. Hence many years spent searching for some easy way to do it - there isn't one.

Music games can be big. if they crack the 'fun factor' this time, wii music 2 could be great.
