Activision Has Pulled the Plug on the “Guitar Hero” Franchise!

Is the playing-music-with-plastic-instruments video game phenomenon over?

Activision seems to think so, because they're pulling the plug on the "Guitar Hero" franchise.  An exec explained, quote, "We simply cannot make these games profitably based on current economics."

This just means there will be no NEW "Guitar Hero" games.  They'll still sell the existing games and downloadable extras for the foreseeable future.

(It's also possible that Activision simply doesn't believe they can compete with the "Rock Band" franchise any more, now that "Rock Band 3" has taken it to the next level by adding keyboards to their game.)
