Guitar Hero: On Tour – 300K Units SoldGuitar Hero: On Tour – 300K Units Sold
The little DS title Guitar Hero: On Tour arrived with a hand-held attachment for playing guitar on the go. Some reviewers found it cramped, annoying and too damn small to really feel any comfort. Other reviews found it exciting, fresh and a break from standard DS games.
Reviews aside, 300,000 people are willing to bet money that the DS title was going to rock the house. The concept hit the mark for the DS because the game system is for on the go “touch and feel” style games; Guitar Hero: On Tour is definitely a touch and feel game.
Although we’ve not played it, we’re not too surprised that 300k people purchased the title, considering the install base for the Nintendo DS device itself. With such a large install base, even if only 25% of the target audience buys into the product they’ll be rolling in the dough.
Will this inspire a Rock Band style ‘drum game’ for the future from the Activision competitors or was this nothing but a fluke?
(Thanks, GameSpot)

Let us know if you’ve been playing Red Dead Redemption 2.
Episode 234: An Episode to ForgetEpisode 234: An Episode to Forget
A microphone issue during the podcast made Jonah’s voice thin and tinny. That, and Paul not in the podcast, flying to California to enjoy Disneyland, makes this an episode to forget. It’s unfortunately, since it’s one of the better podcasts in terms of content. The Gaming Flashback this week is Leisure Suit Larry in The Land of the Lounge Lizards.
The news this week includes:
- Netflix drops Qwikster
- Xbox 720 popping up on LinkedIn resumes
- 320GB hard drive announced for Xbox 360
- Rocksteady: Superman “bad fit” for videogame
- Bethesda: We were “forced” to sue Mojang
We also received some great Reader Feedback as well. Next week, we promise to have great sound – or at least not so tinny.
