Not to be outdone by its more innovative brother Rock Band, Activision (http://www.activision.com) Publishing CEO Mike Griffith revealed the Guitar Hero franchise has recently surpassed 15 million individual song downloads. The announcement was made during a recent earnings call where Activision also revealed future plans of the Tony Hawk (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/09/no-console-tony-hawk-in-08-we-lament/), Call of Duty and James Bond (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/2008/05/09/new-setting-for-call-of-duty-5-bond-powered-by-call-of-duty-4/) licenses.
Viacom, owner of Harmonix, recently announced Rock Band has reached the 10 million (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/05/02/rock-band-ships-3-million-bundled-units-10-million-songs-down/) song download mark.
It's notable that the Guitar Hero announcement seems to relate to both Guitar Hero II (Xbox 360) and Guitar Hero III (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/guitar-hero-iii) (Xbox 360 and PS3) downloads while the Rock Band (http://www.xbox360fanboy.com/tag/rock-band) announcement appears to be a combination of Xbox 360 and PS3 online sales. While Harmonix (http://www.harmonixmusic.com/) and Activision continue their urinating contest over numbers, we'll just assume both are doing well in the content sales department for future reference.
