The Wii version of the new music title ranked as the No. 1 offering at Amazon's Computer & Video Games division, outranking the SKU for Microsoft Corp.'s Xbox 360 at No. 7 and Sony Corp.'s Playstation 3 at No. 40.
All three versions include new music tracks, a wireless guitar, and online play options.
EA next month will release a new competitor to the music game sector called Rock Band. Rock Band, which includes peripherals to form an entire virtual band, will only be sold for the Xbox 360 and PS3, and not the Wii.
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
If this article said "XBOX 360 slaughters Wii in Guitar Hero III sales" then we would have tons of messages saying stuff like "Teh Wii is for da Kidz!" or "See, teh Wii is not hardcore!" but since it's a positive news article about the Wii version selling more, there are no comments.
Interesting indeed.
thats because people that own a ps3/360 know that gh3 is just more of the same, while rock band adds a whole butt load of feature and is made by the people that made gh1/2 so why would anyone that owns gh2 buy gh3? wii owners, well they are dumb, and they probably havent played gh1/2 yet so gh3 will seem new to them.
There seems to be alot less maturity amongst the fans of the so called "Adult" systems. (That relatively small portion of those fan bases that lives to talk crap.) If ever they comment it's negative, insulting, or just downright absurd. In any case, people have been waiting for this game for a long time. It should do really well on all systems.
Guitar hero is one of those games that are hard to define...it's hard enough for the hardcore user but people aren't scared to do it which brings in the casual. It's a genius idea, I wish rock band's controllers worked with GH3, they look better lol.
*FANBOY DISCLAIMER*
I own all three systems. I don't care what system you prefer. The following are just thoughts and are not meant to show any bias towards one system or another.
*END OF DISCLAIMER*
Every store in my town (and some neighboring cities) has the 360 version sold out, and EVERY store has the PS3 version still in stock. And of course the WII version is sold out as well. Heck I didn't even know there was a wii version available until I saw a stack of them (all of them reserved) at one of the indie stores here.
Anyone else notice this where they live? I can go to wal-mart and buy the ps3 version, heck even some of the smaller department stores have it. But the 360 version is no where to be found.
I would pick up the ps3 version but I already have GHII (with guitar) for the 360. If I'm going to have 2 controllers might as well have them for the same system.
