Two music heavyweights went head-to-head this September. Both The Beatles: Rock Band from MTV/Harmonix and Guitar Hero 5 from Activision were released in the same month, both with two very diverse music offerings.
So who came out on top?
The Beatles: Rock Band takes the the first round, selling a combined total of nearly 600,000 units. Guitar Hero 5, meanwhile sold just under, 500,000 units.
As you can imagine, MTV/Harmonix is excited about this news.
"We've heard countless stories about how The Beatles: Rock Band has inspired and brought friends, families and even complete strangers together," stated Scott Guthrie, EVP and President, MTV Games. "The overwhelmingly positive reaction by music fans, hardcore gamers, critics, retailers, young and old alike, has been extremely gratifying. The game was a labor of love for the teams at Apple Corps, MTV Games and Harmonix and seeing it resonate across generations the world over is truly priceless."
MTV also pointed out The Beatles: Rock Band outsold Guitar Hero 5 even with the free promotional Guitar Hero: Van Halen game and a version available on PlayStation 2.
The company also revealed the Xbox Live exclusive track "All You Need Is Love" was downloaded over 100K times.
