(noname's notes: They're going strictly by NPD data, so this is just in the U.S.)

Wii Music a Hit

We have failed.

"The 2008 NPD numbers are in, and Nintendo cleaned up with five of the top 10 best-selling games. Despite our best efforts to warn the world, Wii Music is a definite success with 865,465 units sold so far in North America alone. That number wasn't enough to get it into the top 10 for the year, but it's still an impressive amount and the 35th best-selling game of the year. Nintendo raked in over $41 million on the toy."

I <3 snobcore tears.

I also look forward to a thread full of people bashing this game, despite never having played it.

Muhahahahahaha!

*cough*

Seriously though it's pretty funny that they're that upset about it.

Wii Music for the lose! :(

*wants a cookie now*

Luckily for IGN, in this age and day, it doesn't matter if you're a failure. After all just about every analyst predicting console sales this generation failed miserably, and they won't go away either. =P

I own the game and it's not my taste really, I did have some fun with it but I prefer the other games in the Wii series..

Also hahaha IGN it was not as bad as you made it out to be so I'm glad it has been a success!

Wii Music for the Wii is what Mario Paint was for the SNES. I learned stuff playing that game when I was a kid! Imagine if I had Wii Music at the time. It's brilliant if you want my opinion!

IGN failed alright :P

Nice comparison. You're "almost" right =)

take that haters lol

Curses! IGN's failure continues!

I'm with you.
