Two million individual tracks have now been downloaded for Guitar Hero II via Xbox Live. The sale of over 650,000 song packs have pushed Activision’s rhythm-based game to what would be considered multi-platinum status in the record industry.
Said RedOctane’s head of publishing, Dusty Welch,:
"The Guitar Hero II downloadable videogame song packs are some of the most popular content on Xbox Live and are quickly becoming a very lucrative revenue stream and powerful promotional vehicle for musicians and record labels."
"Activision was the first third-party publisher to offer downloadable content via Xbox Live to consumers and as a result, we have tremendous insight into the types of content that consumers want."
The three-song bundles, along with the core Guitar Hero II game and the original Guitar Hero account for over 6 million individual purchases worldwide.
