I know a lot of people are ready to just the rhythm genre die, and surprisingly, Activision seems to agree to an extent. Activision released a total of 7 freakin' games in the genre last year. An absolutely absurd amount, imo. The 35% drop in sales last year has taught them a lesson. All we're getting from them this year is DJ Hero 2 and a new Guitar Hero, both of which won't be released until later in the year. They say they also want to try to appeal to a broader audience. Considering the last few GH games have been either riddled with pop music or band-specific stuff, I'm hoping that means a better track listing. If not, well, I am still enjoying Rock Band.
What are your reactions to this, if you even care?
