News: I wonder what the RIAA's cut was?
Activision has announced that the Guitar Hero franchise has surpassed $1 billion in sales in North America since it's debut in November 2005.
The Guitar Hero series is made up of four games: Guitar Hero (PS2), Guitar Hero II (PS2, Xbox 360), Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80s (PS2) and Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock (PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, PC). The four titles combined have sold over 14 million copies.
The company also announced that five million songs have been downloaded for Guitar Hero III since that game's release in November 2007.
"Guitar Hero is one of the biggest brands and one of the most powerful distribution platforms in all of entertainment today," said Michael Griffith, President and Chief Executive Officer, Activision Publishing, Inc. "Guitar Hero's popularity with broad audiences is a confirmation that video games have become a true mass medium."
