Activision's popular franchise, that caught even Bill Gates' attention at this year's CES, is quickly heading towards 10 million copies sold.

In less than 3 months since launch, the game managed to reach an audience of more than 5 million people worldwide, the American publisher announced. Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock features legendary Guns'n'Roses guitarist Slash on its cover, accompanied by fictional guitarists Judy Nails on the left and Lars Ümlaüt on the right. Unlike previous installments in the series, GH III's 60 songs are all master tracks and the game allows for online play too.

A Nintendo DS version is expected in early 2008. Based on the success registered by RedOctane's former franchise, Activision revised its profitability target for the last quarter of the 2007-2008 fiscal year (ending March), from the previously announced $2.3 billion to more than $2.45 billion.

 As always the question is sold or shipped, but the date is near today.

According to IOI data we have:

Wii 1.26 Million

360 1.73 Million

PS2 2.51 Million

PS3 0.59 Million

-----------------

Total  6.09 Million (PC version missing).

Take that how you want :o)

*bumb*

It's the second best console seller if you include multi-plats!

so the site has sales as a million over shipped? doesn't sound too good.

wow thats alot for such a short time

sounds like activision would have said 6 million if vgchartz numbers were right...

off topic: Lars umlaut. most fucked up name of a video game character ever.

for those who dont do German: Umlaut means having the two points above some letters. so saying "U Umlaut" in German means ü. Having someone called Umlaut and spelled Ümlaüt is just pathetic.

^i dont do german but it does sound pathetic
