Here's my short argument, you can ignore all mention of VGC if you wish.
The Wii is not this magical console where any publisher can just slap casual or music into the title and expect to sell a million units. Despite the hilarious gifs floating around the internet which suggest otherwise, Nintendo does not make consoles which automatically print money.
I see people pointing to titles like Carnival Games and Guitar Hero as reasons to why this title should easily sell 500,000 to 1 million and I think those comparisons are weak. Just because those games sold a lot does not mean Battle of the Bands (BotB) will. Why not compare this game to the numerous other shovelware games like Looney Tunes: Acme Arsenal, Ninja Reflex, or Mercury Meltdown Revolution a game which was recently delisted from trading on TSE.
It also seems a bit disingenuous on your part to now bash VGchartz and call people unwise when you yourself have often used their numbers in the past to influence others when they are in your favor. Now you are calling people unwise for using their data and you want to dismiss their numbers from the argument when it goes against you.
