Yeah because pretending to play a flute without a fitting input device is "fun". The problem is: It isn't.
Because of this Guitar Hero gives you a guitar to play on. Flailing around to "simulate" drums without any force feedback isn't fun. Playing a violin without a bow isn't "fun" either. But we will see. I think a lot of Wii fans will have to eat crow this time. It may do a few copies on brandname alone but that should be about it for a train wreck of a entertainment software like this.

@Kyros: No it doesn't. Guitar Hero offers you a guitar shaped controller with a couple of buttons in it. You can even play Guitar Hero with a standard controller. Compared to that, Wii Music is a huge step forward.
Besides, Wii Music has creativity as its ultimate dimension, just like pen and paper, real instruments or the music creation programs.

There were plenty of people who said wii fit would fail, and complained about it. That said, I think 95% of them didn't own a wii, and were just secretly jealous...

The only difference, wii music does have much more wii owners complaining. Not sure why, just treat it like any shovel ware... it's not the end of the world...

Personally, I don't think I am interested. If it actually gets decent review I might consider it. If it doesn't break 50, I know not to even touch it.

Let's wait til it's released and reviewed heavily than we determine whether or not it's worth full retail price.

Then what do you call Guitar Hero on the DS?  It has already sold over a million, and has quite a ways to go... that thing is nothing like a guitar.

Besides, I'm curious what you mean when you think Wii Music will flop.  Would you consider, say, 2-4 million lifetime a flop?  I suppose I would (as it wouldn't have lived up to the Wii Series' name), and in that respect I can see where you're coming from.  However, if you think it will sell less (to practically the same audience, and then some) than Carnival Games, I don't know what to tell you.  Prepare to eat crow?  I'm not prepared, I'm too confident in my prediction here

Outsell SSBM by christmas 09'?  I really don't know about that... SSBB should easily be above 8 million by then.  With the legs on these type of games, if it ends up selling SSBB that early I'd put it at 15m lifetime, minimum - I suppose it's possible, but that may be a bit optimistic.  Either way, I'm excited to see how this game will sell.
