Is Wii Music a Sales Flop?
Nov. 17
You haven't seen a lot of Wii Music coverage on this site, in part because I got called away for a big deadline... and in part because I seriously have no interest in buying or playing the thing. I don't hate it and would even recommend it as a gift for kids, but personally I've got better things to be playing.
Maybe I'm not alone in that feeling, either. While just about all of Nintendo's other Wii-branded titles debuted to huge sales, Nintendo stated to MTV Multiplayer that Wii Music's first two weeks of sales only moved about 66,000 copies.
Nintendo Vice President of Sales and Marketing Cammie Dunaway offers this explanation of Wii Music's sales performance, though it smacks of rationalization to me.
Were predicting that its going to be an evergreen title. And if you look at titles like Brain Age, its about the same as what Brain Age did during its first few weeks and went on to sell 2.5 million copies. Wii Fit certainly had a larger launch than that. But I think that people are starting to understand Wii Music.
