Sales for Shigeru Miyamotos latest Wii opus, Wii Music, have been undeniably mediocre in the United States. Sales figures currently show that Wii Music shifted a mere 65,000 copies in its first two weeks at retail, an exceptionally long way behind the phenomenal success of both Wii Fit and Brain Training.

A slightly disheartened Shigeru Miyamoto spoke out regarding what he claims are disappointing sales figures for Nintendo’s recently released musical offering.
First of all, with the game hitting the No.1 spot in Japan in its first week with sales of just under 100,000 units, and the title now out in the US as well, Miyamoto-san expressed how sales so far were ?not too bad?, with expectations for it to be a slow-burner due to the nature of its gameplay, with it picking up over time thanks to positive word-of-mouth.

With Wii Music hitting Japanese retail departments this Friday it certainly comes as no surprise to see the track listing doing the rounds on the Internet. Theme tunes for the intriguing new game range from the classic Super Mario Bros anthem to more recent Animal Crossing inspired tunes.

Nintendo of America President, Reggie Fils-Aime has dramatically spoken out about what he deems to be a bad representation of Wii music by both the gaming press and Nintendo fans in general.
What’s powerful in Wii Music is this juxtaposition of something that looks so simple but is wonderfully difficult to master. We may have done that title an injustice at E3 by showing something that looked so easy. We made it appear too simple. Now we’re showing the tremendous variety of instruments and tones and how challenging it is to make music that sounds good.

October 20th has been secured by Nintendo as the official US release date for Wii Music. Sadly there’s no word as of yet regarding a European release date.
Now Wii Music builds on that inclusive legacy by letting people turn their living rooms into fun concert halls. It brings the experience of performing music to people who think learning an instrument is too difficult. Wii Music launches exclusively for the Wii™ console on Oct. 20 and aims to bring a deeper love and appreciation of music to everyone.
