Guitar Hero World Tour delivers more ways to play than ever before. Virtual musicians can live out their rock and roll fantasies by playing either a single instrument, or any combination of instruments, in addition to the full band experience.

Guitar Hero World Tour is a fun title, to be sure, but it's also a disappointment in a lot of respects. A number of things it tries to accomplish were already done better in Rock Band, which you might figure would have provided a simple blueprint to be followed and expanded up, but that's not the case.

GHWT: Faulty Drums?
Kotaku - October 26, 2008
Submitted by OuterHaven (280) at 8:43PM PST on October 26, 2008
In short: faulty drums in GHWT that are bad enough to affect game play. Guitar Hero: World Tour today, and notices that for those who already have it, some are seeing sensitivity/operability problems with the drum kit. Enough that it's raising a big stink, and Activision has noticed.

GHWT: Eurogamer review 9/10
Eurogamer - October 26, 2008
Submitted by OuterHaven (280) at 7:28PM PST on October 26, 2008
Master recordings may be the norm these days, but there's still a sense that Guitar Hero World Tour is an "As made famous by..." The Rock Band series is now two games and many dozens of downloadable songs deep, and developer Harmonix, having abandoned the Guitar Hero series it designed and launched to work on Rock Band with MTV, was the first to present this formula - two Guitar Hero-style inputs, drums and vocals - to the public

A handful of artists are also name-dropped � Jimi Hendrix, The Doors, Foo Fighters, Smashing Pumpkins, Korn, System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, Interpol, Muse. Also mentioned is an "all new wireless guitar controller with the first-ever touch-sensitive neck slide."

Article: Guitar Hero World Tour Not Selling Like Guitar Hero III DidWhen Guitar Hero III was released in 2007, it sold 1.39 million copies across the various platforms in its first week on sale. That generated $115 million for Activision. When Guitar Hero World Tour launched in 2008, it sold 534,000 copies in its first seven days.

Article that contain a more precise # of GH:WT #, and also include RB # and Rockband Revolution (Konami) # :
GH:WT figures :
534,000 units sold for the month
Xbox 360 191,049
Wii 182,845
PlayStation 3 96,657
PlayStation 2 63,462
Rockband 2 :
238,128 units sold during October
X360 119,569
PS3 118,559 (went on sale October 17)
Rock Revolution (Konami) :
less than 3,000 units total
X360 1,442
PS3 816
NDS 666
Wii 2 (only two).
The number for the Wii version of Rock Revolution was so low because it didn't actually arrive in stores until November 11, whereas all three other versions went on sale October 15.

Although it is not clearly stated, I am sure that you know that the 534K is combined # of ALL version of GH:WT.
Since GH:WT X360 didn't show up in Top 10, and #10 sales # is 193K, that mean GH:WT X360 sales is BELOW 193K. I think it would be only 160 - 180K for X360 version, and almost the # for the Wii Version.

mrahaju posted on Guitar Hero World Tour (Xbox 360) at 4:11PM PST on November 13, 2008. Article: GH:WT Oct 08 NPD #While not living up to last year's launch, Guitar Hero World Tour sold a very strong 534K units at an average retail price of $126. Not shabby! And Rock Band 2 has sold 600K since its release so I'd say the genre is holding up quite well. These will make great gift-giving items over the next two months as well.

Zex_M19 posted on Guitar Hero World Tour (Xbox 360) at 5:27AM PST on November 6, 2008. Article: Activision's 'Hero' strikes right chord.On Wednesday, two big video game companies reported quarterly earnings, with Activision Blizzard impressing investors while THQ depressed them. Activision Blizzard gave most of the credit to "Guitar Hero" and its many spinoffs, and executives called the game one of the most successful entertainment products of all time, in any medium.

apujanata posted on Guitar Hero World Tour (Xbox 360) at 6:59AM PST on October 30, 2008. RE: 500K Units on First DayMy analysis of GH:WT :
IF VGC's 1 Million first week sales prediction are correct, then it is almost the same as last year's GH3 total : 1 Million unit . Text quoted from the article :
"if you total all the versions of Guitar Hero 3 together the game sold over 1 million units—and many of those were the more expensive bundle with guitar—in only a week."
Sim Ex total GLS for GH3 (4 SKU) is 12 Million, while GLS for GH:WT (3 SKU) is also 12 Million, which is within logic of same first week sales # at roughly the same time frame (Oct 28, 2007 vs Oct 25, 2008).
The only question is how those 3 GH:WT SKU are going to perform. GH3 vs GH:WT GLS comparison :
PS3 : 1.43 vs 2.85 (almost 100% increase)
PS2 : 3.85 vs 0 (no PS2 version)
X360 : 3.38 vs 5.1 (50% increase)
Wii : 3.38 vs 4.17 (23% increase)
I believe that X360 version is overpriced, while Wii version is underpriced (I think PS3 might be a little bit overpriced).
Disclosure : I am short on PS3 and X360 version. I am neutral on Wii version.
