I can't believe Wii music has done so well...

LBP, multiple GOTY winner, beaten by THAT?!

Wii Music is fantastic.

Better than LBP?

Strange world...

However it is clear that there are only few "good" games on Wii so that is the reason for such high sales numbers...

2. If, and when, a Wii Music GOTY/announced pricecut comes. (As in, advertised pricecut).

 

Either way, this one is going to be incredibly close, and likely within 150K of each other.

I'm pretty sure a game actually has to win GoTY to get a GoTY version.

LOL. Haze GOTY edition here we come. RRP $9.95

Ah, nice catch. My bad. I meant platinum edition, or whatever Nintendo decides to go for this generation.

It would be interesting to see the impact a "player's choice" line would have on Wii Music. But I'm starting to think since Nintendo hasn't implemented one yet this generation, they might not be planning on doing it ever. Also for this thread, LittleBigPlanet has the Game of the Year Edition, but not the Greatest Hits/Platinum Range version that will surely be released at some point.

Wii Music.

That graph from Pineapple clinched it for me, LBP will in my opinion drop back down reasonably soon - or maybe just miss out on a holiday boost.

I haven't played enough Wii Music to say, but if it delivers on the concepts that I fiddled around with then yes, I would say so.

Wasn't there a video showing that Wii Music was nothing more than a waggle fest? Like, the two guys weren't even looking at the screen and they were just waggling like crazy, yet somehow they were still "playing" the game with no negative consequences (no losses, point deduction, etc). And then they ended with "Wii Music is crap" or something like that.

How did this game even break 500k?

The most puzzling aspect of Wii Music's reception is how angry and confused people get when the computer stops judging them and asks them to judge themselves. I'd even say it's a little disturbing how eager some people are to surrender any kind of self-awareness to the machine gods.

Do you really need a computer to tell you how well you did? A computer isn't even capable of judging how good a musical performance is! All it can do is judge how much you deviated from a single, narrow definition of what a "proper performance" is. A computer would give the best grades to concerts which sounded exactly like the album, and nevermind the energy, enthusiasm, showmanship, or spontaneous freestyling. That's all just worthless deviation.

Now I think I understand why so many musicians hate Guitar Hero.

And why I love Wii Music, incidentally.

Thank you for proving my point, BMaker11.
