While EA books the revenue from each “Rock Band” sale, its share of profits is much lower than if it was publishing its own game.Īsked whether EA was working on its own game, EA Partners general manager David DeMartini praised Harmonix before telling Reuters: “That’s not to say that we wouldn’t at some point be involved in the genre, as this is a huge genre that hasn’t reached full potential. Other game makers aren’t expected to sit still, either.Įlectronic Arts Inc, which is distributing “Rock Band” under a three-year deal, may jump in with its own music game at some point. Moreover, “Rock Band” is only available now for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Sony’s PlayStation 3 consoles but there is no release date yet for Nintendo’s Wii, which has been the best-selling game console in 2007. MTV said it would ship more than a million units this year, but “Guitar Hero 3” sold 1.4 million units in its first six days on the market and is enjoying wider brand recognition.

This year, the game is only available in $170 bundles that are nearly twice as expensive as “Guitar Hero.” Individual instruments won’t be offered until next year.
