Wii Music Hasn’t Sold Well…

by Paul

There’s an intersting news item that shouldn’t take anyone by surprise. Nintendo president Satoru Iwata said that *shock* Wii Music has underperformed to their expectations.

Really? A game that has horrible graphics, poor music selection, and almost zero challenge had lower than expected sales? Imagine that. No one could have guessed that could they? Iwata also stated that they will not abandon the game and will continue to push it on the public that really doesn’t want it.

Hopefully this will help serve as a wake up call to Nintendo. The public won’t buy every casual game that they make and that perhaps they should account for the tastes of those who actually buy and play games. Just because you capture the Mom and Grandma crowd, you shouldn’t completely forget the people that have supported you for years.
