Who knew that releasing a great game and then expanding on that game through DLC was better then releasing a good game then releasing a mediocre sequel every 6 months?

Next you're going to tell me that Ubisoft should stop releasing their 'Imagine' and 'Petz: z' games.

If you can get rich by selling shit...I don't see why not.

Who would have thought that DDR with a plastic guitar would be popular in the first place?

I bought it for the drums, since they use actual drumming skill. Playing with the toy guitar in GH was never a hit with me.

Already reached past 20% of Guitar Hero franchise with its five or more games. And Rock Band is set to succeed GH so, it looks quite possible in the next year or two.

I am *really* glad to see that the financial expectations have been exceeded for this company.

Far too many brilliant and creative game projects have been shitcanned because they weren't financially successful.

That's only a millions dollars (the image). Only reason I know this is because I took the exact same picture when I was in Vegas last year.

Harmonix only cost MTV $175 million, so it seems that contract traded a low selling point for future performance-based incentives, which is good news for Harmonix shareholders.

Croal's analysis overlooks the fact that Harmonix can still make other games too (such as Phase, which they have probably made a little money on). Though MTV may not break even with Rock Band itself, they have the best rhythm gaming division in the industry for less than it would have cost them to try to assemble one of their own.

Just imagine sales if they had managed to get the game out WITH stand alone instruments, not to mention the negative press about the faulty hardware and the cost of said hardware.

I really love this game, but it is sad that even the recent high quality mic that was released (not actually a harmonix product) broke on me (and others in the same damn way)
