Guitar Hero 5 dominates UK sales for opening week
Written September 14, 2009
I’ve only just sorted myself out with a copy of The Beatles: Rock Band, but according to VG247 it’s already been blitzed by Guitar Hero 5 in the UK’s first week of sales. Not only was TB:RB outsold by the already released Batman: Arkham Asylum, but also failed to rank over GH5 and Colin McRae: DiRT 2, debuting it at 4th on the UK game sales charts.
Having just played the game through, we be thinking that Beatles:RB ain’t getting the creedence it deserves, but that’s how the coo-goo-gachoob crumbles I suppose. Guitar Hero 5‘s aggressive “buy a copy, get everything else we ever did free” marketing would appear to be working for them.
I’ll post up our TB:RB review soon, it’s in the draft stages.
