Despite Wii Music's average sales and the lack of fans, Nintendo haven't given up. They are relying on word-of-mouth to raise hype for the game and earn it more sales.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata has no problem admitting Wii Music didn't live up to the company's expectations, but he doesn't want you to consider it a failure, either.

"There are people who highly appreciate it and those who do not appreciate it at all," Iwata said, adding that perceptions can be changed.
It's all about word of mouth to him, as he said, "A cycle is born where people who have hands-on experience can immediately understand its appeal, easily explain the positive experience they had to those around them, who then spread that information to the others." That works, unless you're a blog who pretty unanimously hated it and told everyone how you felt.
