Study: Guitar Hero III has more groupies than Rock Band
Joystiq may go crazy over Harmonix and Electronic Arts’ love child Rock Band, but data from IGN’s GamerMetrics reminds us that the franchise has a ways to go if it wants to overtake its distant cousin Guitar Hero III.
According to the statistics, there were 22 million page views on IGN for Guitar Hero III-related articles, vs. 10 million for Rock Band (a 120% increase). GHIII was also on almost twice as many wishlists (5,755 vs. 2,928) as its competitor and over six times as many message board posts (25,000 vs. 4,000).
