Guitar Hero to add new instruments in 2008?
Analyst firm Janco is predicting that the
Guitar Hero franchise could be adding to the guitar-only play of the titles come next year, in an effort to combat the upcoming MTV and Harmonix joint venture
Rock Band. "We expect Guitar Hero to follow a natural product evolution by adding additional music peripherals in calender year 08," said the firm.
The reasoning behind the prediction is that Janco is of the mind that due to the established
Guitar Hero name, it could stand to make out better financially than
Rock Band. Of course, the question arises that should Activision add other instruments to its franchise, it couldn't just go on calling it
Guitar Hero still, right?
