Guitar Hero Goes $1 Billion

Mon Jan 21 2008, by Mark Wilson

Around 26 months ago, Guitar Hero was an instant cult classic. Today, it's officially a $1 billion franchise. Apparently this milestone comes in video game record time. In addition, since the launch of Guitar Hero III, users have downloaded five million songs. If so, that total is double the figure that Rock Band has released.

Kotaku posted Activision's official announcement. (Guitar Hero, Guitar Hero II, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, Industry, PC, PS2, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360)
