Australia gets to see its software sales for 16th of November! What topped the all consoles category? Surprisingly it's the game that's had a lot of criticism, Wii Music! Call of Duty: World at War then took second and third place on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 respectively.
Wii Music also topped the Wii section. This was followed by the popular Guitar Hero: World Tour and then the ever well selling Wii Fit.

It's fair to say most gamers have bashed Wii Music, most not even considering it a game at all, just some shovel ware Nintendo wants to sell to idiotic casual gamers. And perhaps Nintendo will try a little harder to please hardcore gamers next time, as fans have struck Nintendo where it hurts most, their wallets. Early sales reports for Wii Music estimates its sales around 50 000 so far, which while good comes no where near Wii Fit. Nintendo are still defending the title though, Cammie Dunawa...

Earlier today, it was revealed that Wii Music will be coming out across the U.S.A. on October 20th. In the game, there are over sixty instruments to experiment with, as well as fifty different songs!
Forget Rock Band 2 and Guitar Hero: World Tour, Wii Music will outshine both of them.
In Nintendo's quarterly meeting with Japanese retailers, details have emerged on release dates and prices for a few new games that are set to hit Japanese store shelves within the next 2-3 months. There could be more information on the way, but so far, there is the following:

Katsuya Eguchi: The Animal Crossing series has always had a big emphasis on the communication theme -- you know, communication between players. In the GameCube version, of course, we had keyboard functionality to support that sort of communication, but now with WiiSpeak, we really get that stron..."

"Purely rumour and speculation at the moment, this one, but word has it that Nintendo's upcoming Wii Music title will make use of the Wii Balance Board, specifically as drum pedals."
