You know what I mean? Sales are, in general, going to go down over a year's time. i bet those numbers will go back through the roof when the new titles come out in September. though i don’t know if sales going down necessarily means that people aren’t playing them anymore or aren’t going to buy the new titles… because I bet GTA IV, Gears 2, and Wii friggin’ Play sales are down from last year too.

I like how Rock Band at least has developed more of a 'platform' by allowing the RB 1 tracks to be carried over to RB2; but the market is definitely suffering from all of the over-saturation.

I haven't bought a Guitar Hero since 2007 and a Rock Band since last year, nor will I probably ever buy one again. I have Rock Band 2 and a selection of over 500 songs on the marketplace to choose from. What reason do I have to buy a disk of songs that may contain a lot of songs I won't enjoy, when I can have my pick at whatever songs I want? Also, the games they're putting out now don't show any sort of new gameplay mechanic that seems interesting to me. Like when Guitar Hero came out with that slide board, who honestly would play like that? I think they're trying their hardest to hit a wide demographic of people (Lego Rock Band, Beatles, etc.) and a lot of them just don't care. Their DLC is the only thing I see them doing right as of now. I definitely have to agree with this.
