Activision was #1 US publisher in 2007

Activision was certainly on a financial and critical acclaim rampage in 2007. COD4 got a spot on our Top 10 list and GHIII was the number one game for our significant others. As successful as last year was, it's now looking like Rock Band is poised to make GHIII yesterday's news, which could be troubling for Activision considering how financially successful the Guitar Hero series has been. Then again, this year we'll start seeing the armed and fully-operational Blizzavision (yeah ... still working on that name).

No love for Guitar Hero :'(
Activision makes great games other than the ones mentioned.... they made Pitfall... remember Pitfall... that was a good game....
Anyways: Kudos to Activision, may the evil spirits get confused on the way to your house.

As long as they start to implement some kind of quality assurance/control and not spam us with unnecessary sequels....yeah right!

Although it's an ogre replacing another one, it's good that the first ogre got reminded that he can't always shit on people the same way for so long.

Yeah, but now the first ogre is turning into a good, respectable guy while the second ogre is becoming way worse than the first one ever was.

Quick! Everyone turn your hate from EA to Activision! All the cool internet users are doing it!

Don't worry, I have for the whole Rock Band issue.

I don't hate either of them... my internet stock has plummetted.

I don't see why Guitar Hero and Rock Band can't both coexist peacefully. My friends love both of them, and from what I've seen, the big divide between the two groups is mainly, once again, among the "hardcore" gamers and not the general public.

What is that? A consumer who pleads for care?

Eh I like Guitar Hero III better, I won't buy into this MTV bullshit with broken guitars.

Last year was good for activision, but I don't see much coming anytime soon. Mind you we hadn't really seen anything for cod 4 until e3 so I trust they'll have something in store, but I don't think cod 5 will be anywhere near as good as cod 4.

Rock Band makes Guitar Hero III a thing of the past?
Sorry, Rock Band sold less than a million across all systems, while Guitar Hero III sold six million across all systems.
People who bought Rock Band spent $170 for some pieces of plastic and a relatively modest track list. Of course they're buying downloadable songs. What else can they do? People who bought Guitar Hero III are, you know, playing it.
