MTV: Rock Band “flying off the shelves”
According to MTV’s head of digital entertainment Mika Salmi, Harmonix’s attempt to slay the beast they birthed (Guitar Hero) with Rock Band has been “flying off the shelves”.
“It’s fantastic.” Salmi said, “Downloads are going great, rockband.com is on and downloading stuff from there. It’s got a lot of legs, we’re in it for the long term.”
It shouldn’t come as any great surprise that Rock Band is doing so well. After all, Guitar Hero III sold twenty quadrillion dollars last week, not to mention Rock Band was developed by the same crew who worked on the past Guitar Hero titles, and with the addition of the drums and microphone it has turned into the ultimate party game. Just imagine how it’d do if it got AC/DC or The Zep.
It is interesting to note that while MTV is saying Rock Band is a great success, no sales figures have yet to be released. Sure, it’s only been a week but you would think they would wait until the numbers were out before claiming success.
