Guitar Hero III massive success for Activision

Videogame publisher Activision has said that the just launched Guitar Hero III(R): Legends of Rock gaming title has been a major success for them.

The company said that the gaming title accumulated $100 million in North America since its launch on Oct. 28th.

Activision Chairman and CEO Robert Kotick added in a statement: “During Q3, we shipped more units of our internally developed, wholly owned franchise, Guitar Hero III(R): Legends of Rock, than any other game in Activision’s history. Within the first seven days, consumer sell through was more than $100 million in North America alone - our largest product launch ever.”

They are currently scheduled to launch this title in Europe and Australia later this month. It is available on 4 platforms.
