Obviously the mean average won't be earth shattering, but if those three reviews are typical of what's to come, the standard deviation for reviews of wii music could dwarf any other game.

I think that goes to Wii Play.

Legs like Disaster haha... ok, ok just kidding.

I loved Wii Play. I may have spent 30 hours on it now, and heck, it's far better than almost any 3rd party game on the machine.

If Wii Music beats that, I may be interested. When is it out in Europe?

 Quoted so that you can't edit it when you get proved wrong.

I voted Animal Crossing Wii first, it's DS version is about to hit the 10 million mark

Wii Music second, because it should have the Nintendo legs

LBP or gears 3rd

Gears or LBP 4th

The other one 5th... the rpg, its predecessor only sold a few million

I think it's cause they're scared.  Games in the wii series get great sales and are system sellers.  So many ppl are now buy a wii cause of these games that sony won't be leading console this gen.  The effects of this is that they will lose exclusives to other systems, just look at tenchu 4 / fatal frame 4 / monster hunter 3.

I am only with the Nice lady :).

 Nintendo Wii casual games sell well => Nintendo makes more Casual games...=> Nintendo will rather make new casual game than hardcore game? => Hardcore gamers not happy.

They should have called it Wee Big Planet then.

I think fear is in part, a cause for the hate.

The fear that this new wave of casual games that sell so well could usurp the old style traditional games, that the new wave of casual titles will force the 'hardcore games' to eventually dissapear. Some gamers may possibly be looking at these Wii titles as the beginning of an end to gaming as they know and love.

That's going a bit too far, but perhaps the thought has crossed their mind.

I think the hate also stems from the fact that the game, to a large number of gamers, looks absolutely atrocious.

It's like when you see a B-rated Disney movie advertised on TV, you don't like the look of it, the characters look like cheap rip-offs of other animated movies and the jokes are completely lame, but you know that regardless of it's evident flaws it will be a commercial success.

Which leads on to the point of effort vs reward. Gamers are looking at the title wondering if Nintendo are really putting any serious effort into it, and are the sales of the title justified?

I'm not saying I hold any of the above views, but I think it's easy enough to spot where the Wii Music hate is coming from.

@Arsenal009- Tenchu was on the PS2/Xbox/360 it's also going to the DS and PSP. I'm not sure If you could really list that as a lost 'exclusive'.
