Wii Music - Flop or Not?

The Wii Music is not difficult to find in-stock this holiday season, and with good reason. According to the Wall Street Journal, Wii Music is 'far behind' the sales that were enjoyed by Guitar Hero and Rock Band. So why's Wii Music so far behind? Playing along with your guitar and drums like in Rock Band actually gives you a point of reference. With Wii Music, you have to use the nunchuck style controllers and pretend you're holding a bad axe or blazing drums.

Some are even calling it the Wii's first 'flop'! Personally, I don't mind Wii Music. The game allows you to be extremely creative, as it is more free flowing than other more structured games, like Guitar Hero. But, if it is a flop, it was just a matter of time. Every gaming console has them, who remembers the Sega Saturn?
