Apple's been said to have expressed interest. Also, I seriously doubt Harmonix has never turned a profit, considering the reports of value off DLC.

The Bloomberg article made it sound like they had never turned a profit, but reading links on NeoGAF (while ignoring the rhetoric, natch) makes it seem like they haven't since Beatles came out.

But MTV Games took in all the instrument manufacture and distribution for that game onwards which EA were handling before that (at least in Europe).

Here we go http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118027323

Lost $65 million this quarter. Ouch.

Apple would be... Interesting. Probably be bought to make iPhone mini-games though.

It ain't my fault they released it on the same day as Fable 3 and TFU2 (and to a lesser extent, SVR2011). I could only afford a few at a time. Plus, I think Guitar Hero has done everything in its power to kill the popularity and reduce it to fad status.

It's not just that (and lol at picking TFU2 over this... Ouch), but I think they gave up on it after thinking Beatles would sell millions. I love the Beatles, but there isn't a massive crossover between massive Beatles fans who would spend hundreds on the kit and video game players. I've not seen a single ad for RB3 over here at all.

I picked up F3 and SVR2011 and didn't actually get TFU2, though I would have over this. It's not to do with the game, it's just that my current place is small and not conducive to having a rock band party, despite having an entire kit. Add my crazy work schedule to that, the people I played most with living in other cities now and my other friends being all over different parts of town and it gets difficult to make happen.

Then by all means, continue hurting Harmonix.

But seriously, I see your dilemma. I've got this guitar coming and have no fucking clue where it'll live.

As announced this morning, Viacom plans to sell Harmonix and have reclassified Harmonix to a discontinued operation. However, this announcement does not affect the ongoing work at the studio as they continue to support Rock Band and Dance Central. Viacom's decision to exit this business reflects our strategy of focusing entirely on what they do best: make great branded entertainment content and deliver it through a variety of platforms. Harmonix has and will continue to create terrific video games. But for us, it is about focus. Viacom is in discussions with several potential buyers and will continue to fully support the business until a sale is completed.

Yeah, they haven't been doing well of late. It's a little odd.

That much I can believe, I just don't know entirely why. I suppose part of it hinges on the lack of titles.

Plus, how did Green Day do?

Much rather would have had Queen than Green Day, tbh. When did negotiations fall apart? Also, the DLC choices have been pretty gay for most of the year.

Many of you have asked about DLC. To be clear, our earlier statement that we will continue to support our existing franchises holds true and work at the studio is not affected by this announcement. RB DLC will continue unabated. We’re excited to confirm that The BeeGees are our next DLC pack.

Some of you have been chiming in about our different partners and what this announcement means for [the Fender Squier/Mad Catz Hardware/EA Distribution]. Those partnerships are unaffected by this announcement with regards to existing titles.

Most importantly, the Rock Band and Dance Central will continue to be worked on at Harmonix for the foreseeable future. We’re not leaving them behind.
Bee Gees. Oh great.

Yeah, I haven't bought much DLC.

I doubt negotiations fell through. Brian May said they would like to do it, but I don't think there was ever anything concrete. Plus, they're obviously still are willing to provide tracks.

There will be a bunch of DLC, so probably.

I doubt Harmonix is dead, one way or another.

All sales figures here are liftime to date.

Beatles Rock Band

360 1.06m
PS3 0.81m
Wii 1.33m

Total 3.2m

Green Day Rock Band

360 0.18m
PS3 0.15m
Wii 0.16m

Total 0.49m

Just as a comparison:

Rock Band 2 Sales

360 2.15m
PS3 0.99m
Wii 0.96m

Total 4.1m

Ouch, Green Day was a stinker. Beatles was respectable, but not amazing, especially when you consider how much they probably spent in licensing and manufacturing.

Just looked into the figures further, and the RB2 sales don't include Europe whereas Beatles and Green Day do.

I love Green Day until Minority on, but even then select tracks. If they went back older, would have been all over it, but unlocking old tracks is a pain.

I figured Guitar Hero would be in trouble before Rock Band would.

Maybe Activision will buy it and all GH and RB DLC will be compatible with each other! lol

Activision is still milking the shit out of this. Doubt they're doing as well as RB was.

I honestly don't think Activision care that much, thinking that even a franchise run into the ground can come back.

See: Tony Hawk. Hell, even with a peripheral that barely works, they push the hell out of the new ones.

GH6 all formats and including Europe: 0.6m

Rock Band 3 all formats including Europe: 0.31m (Wii version only has 0.03m sales...)

Obviously, RB3 has only had 2 weeks, but it's pretty safe to say that the genre has shit the bed.

I liked their later stuff, but nowhere near enough to buy that game until it was like 20 bucks.

Yeah, the major difference is support. Activision is more likely to continue their support because they will milk iterative products to death. Which is pretty much now.

After the last couple years, I'm not that surprised. The big problem here is with compatability ending for RB1 and 2, they need to move 3 to support future DLC.

Rock Band's model doesn't need iteritive games as bad as GH or other titles.

The Mustang plays pretty good. But holy shit it will take some getting used too. Beat a few songs on easy. It will take a while even to step up to medium. Pretty fun learning it tho.

Do you already play an instrument?

Just wondering how someone who can already play an electric guitar will take to this.

Granted, I mostly play power chords, but still, I'm not fresh off the turnip truck.

That would explain why I'm constantly in the top 10 for drums on Wii.

Beat a couple of the harder songs on easy before I went to bed last night. I couldn't find some of the higher notes right away but I eventually found them without looking at my hand. And this is after only 1 day.

The keys tutorial had me moving my hands in under two days, so I know what you mean.

I've never been able to do that before. I always have to look at the keys on my keyboard to position my fingers for chord changes.

Holy fuck balls B.B. King. Definitely getting that.

Need some Muddy Waters.

Also, I fondly remember the days when I would get at least a couple songs every week. Last thing I got was Bob Marley, and before that, I can't even remember what I got, it was so long ago.
