GH5 vs Beatles: 1-0

Posted on Friday, 18 September 2009 by L0k1-, source: Gamespot
It isn't a real surprise that Guitar Hero 5 is doing better than The Beatles: Rock Band if you think about the popularity of the Beatles with the young console crowd.

Activision announced that their new music game has easily taken the lead over The latest Rock Band of MTV Games, which focused solely on The Beatles.

Dan Rosensweig, head of the Guitar Hero department confirmed that the release of The Beatles: Rock Band did not influence their results and that in comparison they have sold five copies for each one of their competitor in the U.S. and nine times as much in other regions in the first week after its release.

Viacom, which MTV Games is part of is still quite happy with the results of the latest Rock Band, since they are better than expected. They announced that in the first week they were able to sell a quarter of their produced copies.

Everyone is happy it seems, even you gamers. Except for our wallets of course, you have to pay around 70 euros for Guitar Hero 5 here in Belgium :(

The REAL sales are out and posted on vgchartz, and Beatles outsold GH. Don't listen to what an exec says about their own product, they are just trying to hype GH5 as much before the next guitar hero game comes out in a month.

Another writer blindly regurgitating what Activision is spinning. The Beatles game is beating Guitar Hero, period. You should get your facts straight. That way you won't be disseminating false information.

1. Guitar Hero 5
2. Colin McRae Dirt 2
3. Batman: Arkham Asylum
4. Rock Band: The Beatles

Chart-track info comes from ELSPA and is gathered from retail sales while VGChartz uses "estimates". Idiots...

Like Beatles Rock Band will ever sell more than Guitar Hero 5... Using just a bit of logical business and marketing sense will immediately tell you that GH5 will outsell it.

Those are only the UK charts Speed. In worldwide and US sales, the Beatles: Rock Band trounced Guitar Hero 5. Who's the idiot?

Chart-Track is the only one to offer official numbers on a weekly basis that are publicly available. Yes, it's only UK but it gives OFFICIAL NUMBERS (not "estimates") and gives an idea of how sales are doing.

In any case, we're reporting what people are saying and until NPD Group (for US) releases their figures, there's no actual figures publicly available to verify.
