Guitar Hero: On Tour huge hit, sells 300K in its first week

Looks like Activision struck gold yet again with its Guitar Hero franchise, as word hits that the DS title Guitar Hero: On Tour has sold more than 300,000 units in its first week in North America. It set all kind of company precedents, telling us that it probably won’t be the only Guitar Hero game to release on the DS.

So, what about those precedents? Well, for one, it’s the restricted most successful game launch on the DS for the company. Not only that, but Guitar Hero:

On Tour is plus “one of Activision’s top five best-selling launches of any title on any platform in the company’s history.” Now that’s impressive.

Did you pick up On Tour? What do you think of the game?
