Wii Music will sell better with longer legs.

Depends on how good each game is reviewed and hyped. My opinion? Wii Music will sell better no matter what. I'm hoping LBP will be the better game though.

 

 Sony could give you Lair with LBP cover art and it would be better than Wii Music.  You "hope" LBP will be better?  You gotta be kidding me.  Sony is banking on this game.  The reviews to this point have been ridiculously good.

I don't think that LBP is a casual game. It is a game for everyone sure, but I don't think people that never played a game before can pick it up and enjoy it that much. So Wii Music will definitely win in the casual department. Though, LBP is obviously the better choice for the hardcore gamers.

But I don't know, I think Wii Music will end up beating LBP in the long run. But I just don't see Wii Music doing as good as Wii Fit, Wii Play, and Wii Sports. In everything I seen, I just don't see it appeal to others as the other games. For example, when I showed Wii Fit to my mom who isn't a gamer, she was interested and wanted to get one. However, Wii Music, she isn't even interested. It may just be her, but I think it won't be as successful as the others. But we will see.

LBP is not casual (or bridge).Any game that emphasizes creation and online play is not casual or bridge. It is an upmarket title.

The hype machine is at full speed.

Beware of the inevitable crash such as mgs4, lair, dmc4, gta4 or whatever title that was at some point hyped as "the next big thing that will resurrect the playstation brand".





Current-gen game collection uploaded on the profile, full of win and good games; also most of my PC games. Lucasfilm Games/LucasArts 1982-2008 (Requiescat In Pace).

What about the core platforming aspect?  I thought 2D platformers were the lowest market tier for core games.  creation and sharing being what make it a bridge to the upmarket.

You mean GTa4 that just sold 10m copies which means every third HD console owner bought it and that got perfect scores from all big reviewers.

Or MGS4 that equally has stellar scores and sold over 3m copies already?

I really hope that LBP does crash like that

Wii Music will crush LBP, but I sure would buy LBP if I had a PS3.

Wii Music looks terrible.



Groucho on 20 September 2008

Wii Music is not going to move hardware. Wii Fit, it's not. It may do decently, but I wouldn't expect it to be a landmark.

A few questions:
1. Who is going to buy LBP that doesn't already want a PS3 or own a PS3?
2. What part of LBP is more casual that say Mario or Rachet and Clank?
3. How does Wii music sales affect LBP sales? Isn't that like Rock Band affecting Call of Duty sales? Except it would be Rock Band on the Xbox360 vs Call of Duty on the PS3?

Questions over,



I'm Unamerica and you can too.
