Mlive Reports: "Aerosmith didn't write "Money for Nothing" - that honor goes to Dire Straits - but that's exactly what Wii owners will pay as they lose a baffling $10 on a Guitar Hero Aerosmith bundle.
Since the Wii game lacks the high-definition visuals, downloadable content and digital audio of its Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 counterparts, it's basically the same as the PlayStation 2 version. And while every other console's guitar peripheral is a standalone controller, the Wii guitar won't work unless you stick a Wii remote in it.
To offset its shortcomings, Guitar Hero III for Wii costs $10 less than the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions. But Wii owners who want Guitar Hero Aerosmith are stuck shelling out premium prices for less game and less controller."
The top-selling third-party games of all time across consoles include GTA V, Call of Duty, and Guitar Hero.

In the summer, we all do things that cool us off. That’s just conventional wisdom. But what if we’ve been going about it all wrong? What if the solution is leaning in to the heat, diving into even hotter activities to show the summer we’re not scared?
Let’s beat summer at its own game here. Whether you want to murder your way through hell or skate over it, gaming has got you covered.
COGconnected - It seems like the era of rhythm game dominance has come and gone but we argue that there's still room for them if they make a few key changes.
No we DONT need guitar hero or rockband. These games have had 7+titles each console cycle and Im tired of these being the mainstream and practically only focused on musical game.
Amplitude was brought back for PS4 yet with the tech and magic of DLC we didnt get it because not only gamers but devs have become out of touch.
Thumper impressed many and is at least a step in the right direction. I rather have more games like thumper. So screw all this rockband and Guitar hero BS! Take your guitars and peripherals and break them in half!

I preferred the patapon games but yeah. We need rhythm games to come back this gen
Wireless guitar vs wired guitar... yeah I think that is safe to throw out an extra 10 bucks for comfort.
Didnt seem to bother the millions that bought more of Gh3 on Wii. I'll take this entire article as just an attempt to take a shot at the Wii.Premium prices when its cheaper than PS3 and 360? yeah that doesnt add up. Oh and he didnt even notice putting the Wii remote in the controller also adds motion sensing. Something the PS3 and 360 do not offer. oh and lets not forget the convinience of only needing 1 set of batteries between wii remote and guitar controller since the wii remote slides inside. Hmm I can sit here and in 30 seconds think of 2 advantages it has over PS3 and 360 version, no telling how long this kid was writing but he missed every benefit. I cant wait to see what he has to say about the WIi version of GH4. With everything offered on PS3 and 360 day one..
I've always thought that Wii owners were getting the shaft when it comes to these games as well. The Wii remote provides the wireless connection and so the guitar should be cheaper. Not by a lot, let's say $10, but it really doesn't make sense to charge the same amount for a shell while PS3 and X360 owners get the full works. Unless of course, consumers are willing to pay it, which they clearly are.
Personally, I took advantage of the full refund Activision was offering for the problem with mono sound. It really was annoying to play it in mono after having played it on PS3 at a friends house in glorious surround sound. Picked up Rock Band for PS3 with the money (actually made a profit on the return, the shipping cost was not nearly what Activision was offering) and I've been happy ever since.
Guitar Hero Aerosmith is trash anyways, and every Guitar Hero to date has had like 3 good songs in them.
Wii Guitar is only a cheap shell like the nunchuck, and the graphical and Sound quality are highly turned down. There's NO pay I'd pay the same price as the 360/ps3 version.
