Guitar Hero, Nintendo DS, Activision, US Sales Recent News
Activision has revealed that in just its first week on sales in the US, Guitar Hero: On Tour for DS has sold 300,000 units, making it the largest North American launch for the Nintendo DS in the company's history by more than a factor of eight. In addition, Guitar Hero: On Tour's performance ranks it as one of Activision's Top 5 best-selling launches of any title on any platform in the company's history.
Guitar Hero: On Tour brings the popular Guitar Hero franchise to the handheld platforms for the first time delivering a unique gaming experience and challenging handheld gamers to prove their skills on the most diverse set list of master tracks ever offered in a Guitar Hero game.
Activision posted net revenues of $2.9 billion for the fiscal year ended 31st March, 2008, but with massive successes like this, it will no doubt be in an even healthier position by 31st March, 2009.

mOojcDamn, that's quite impressive. No brainer though, with the fanbase of both the Guitar Heroe series and Nintendo DS = lots of sales.

Do you seriously think they see the value of that keypad grip and pick as costing only a additional £5 over a DS game.
I reckon £40 at the very minimum on the internet.

Epic fail.
Still planning on purchasing this though. I'm pretty sure one of my friends who are absolute Guitar Hero fanatics will surely purchase this game before I do, so I might get my hands on theirs before I make the purchase.

I don't really want the game, but I need to get it now because I want that singing guy to be back in the advert for the second DS GH game
