“We should note that while the Rock Band franchise managed to grow in November, Guitar Hero overall still outsold Rock Band by more than 2-to-1 in terms of dollars in November and almost 3-to-1 in terms of units. The biggest concern around Guitar Hero has to be the fact that Guitar Hero World Tour (12 SKUs) declined 48% in units and 31% in dollars from Guitar Hero III (6 SKUs) on a year-over-year basis. This will fuel concerns that the genre is past its peak. With Activision and others sure to bring new innovation to the genre next year we can’t count it out, but it almost certainly won’t be the growth driver it has been over the past two years.” – UBS analyst Ben Schachter
