so how much cred is IGN trying to lose here?
They are getting just stupid.
End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)
Wii- 72 million 3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases
360- 37 million Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak
PS3- 29 million Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

They're concerned about their hardcore gamer cred, not their journalistic integrity cred. They can't act professional, because they don't even think of themselves as professional. It's a widespread problem.

That's an exellent catch, well found.
I wonder how the reactions will be when Wii Music sells 3-4M (or possibly 5, if legs go nuts).
Wii Music can go both ways really, down the toilet to 3M LT or up the sink to 5M LT.

That is VGChartz LONGEST review. And it's NOT Cute Kitten DS

Yes, that's my assessment as well. It's still too early to get any idea of how Wii Musics legs will look. And there really is no presedence either, in terms of games that might be expected to perform similarly. It's a pretty unproven concept.
1 million was garaunteed, but what comes next? - most interesting question for me this year.

Not judging how amusing it may be, but from what I understand about the game's mechanics, playing Wii Music you maybe could learn to play drums or a theremin, but can you learn to play any other instrument with it?

It's not about learning to play an instrument. It's about learning music. Hence the name :)
And I'm not sure you can learn to play any real instruments with it. Drums would be the closest you can get, but I would be surprised if you could learn to play drums from Wii Music.

Oh Lord no.
But then trying to do so would be like learning how to be a soldier by playing Call of Duty: if you're trying to learn the real deal this way, you're definitely doing it wrong (which is part, but only part, of BMaker's problem).
If I had to liken Wii Music to something, it would be a music synthesizer. But even that's not really accurate: it's just the best analogy I could come up with.

It won't turn anybody into the next Buddy Rich, but I actually do think that a beginner could realistically learn basic drum kit technique from the Wii Music lessons.
Oh well, maybe I'm too fussy, maybe amongst the mass of players just fiddling with it, an higher share than just listening to music will be willing to really learn to play... But let's just hope that it doesn't cause another surge of boy bands, that would be a real crime against humanity!!!

Alas, Wii Music doesn't have a theremin.
Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People does, though!
