Default Activision asks retailers to stop stelling RB, Wii Music
"One thing I do say to retailers is that they should stop selling those rival products which don't sell through, and instead focus on the products that are selling through and generate retail value and return on investment. I'm not here to talk about the competition, but one of our competitors we outsell nine to one, eight to one or seven to one depending on the week. The last GfK research showed that we have a 50 per cent market share of the music category - which includes Rock Band, Wii Music, SingStar and every other music game." - Michael Sportouch, Senior Director of Guitar Hero

GoNintendo - Guitar Hero boss wants retail to stop selling rival products

Ah, but "Guitar Hero is the first game where you can use multiple instruments such as a guitar, drums, and microphone"

My thoughts exactly, Dogen. Guitar Hero lost its appeal when Harmonix stepped aside to work on Rock Band.

Meh, I prefer Guitar Hero to Rock Band.

I'm not a huge fan of some of Activision's choices, but that doesn't (and shouldn't) make me think any less of the game.

This is just about one of the stupidist thing's I've heard from gaming, at least recently. Someone actually asking retailers to 'stop selling products' which don't sell, which is contradictory in itself. If they actually weren't selling, retailers wouldn't stock them.
