Guitar Hero may make more money....but I bet if you factor in all the sales from Rock Band DLC and RBN sales the sales figures might look a bit different.

PFFT! I've spent about 2-3 hundred on RB songs.

I have spent far more than I should have on Rock Band DLC.

I obviously have too, but I barely regret it. It still provides me with tons of fun, but the games I could've boughten.

I don't know, I was quite shocked to hear about a new Call of Duty game and a new Tony Hawk game...

Look at the bright side, this is the first announced Guitar Hero this year.
They would have released three titles by now under the old regime.

It's sad that the first sensible, level headed comment on this article is seven posts in. Wow. I swear, they could announce they got exclusive rights to Zepplin and they'll be giving the game away for free and you people will still flame them like a bunch of fanboys.

I can hear Mooing from the cow right now. It has a slight scream to it as Activision gets every last drop...

BIGGEST SURPRISE OF 2010!...
Anyways, since I love both GH/RB titles (and rhythm games in general), I want to see the tracklist to see if this is buy or not.

I guess the 1000+ songs for Rockband 2 isn't good enough for you...

Rock Band has King Crimson? NO
Rock Band has Iggy Pop? NO
Yeah, RB is a better game in almost everything, but both games have different songs.

So this is what, the 20th installment of a Guitar Hero title in 5 years?

Well, at least there's Rock band 3 to look forward to..

New features to help keep the game fresh...they don't have to be thrown out quite as often as Activison does it but it has to happen.

C'mon. Didn't we had enough guitar hero 3 games ago?

Looking forward to DJ Hero 2, the first one had GREAT music.

Saw a prototype DJ Hero controller, the platter was touch sensitive, so try to hold out buying a second one, k?

If the track list is good enough I may buy it when it hits $20 like I did with Guitar Hero 5. I wouldn't complain about 80+ songs for twenty bucks.

"improved economics" and "higher percentage of software sales" shouldn't be in the same sentence.

Activision; read my lips: SUPPORT DJ HERO DLC!
The first game died due to lack of support like it's older brother. That, and half of the sets being stupid mixes.
