They go way over yearly releases! Look at how many GH games are being released in 2009!

Guitar Hero Metallica

Guitar Hero Smash Hits

Guitar Hero Van Halen

Band Hero

DJ Hero

Guitar Hero Modern Hits

Guitar Hero 5

This is INSANE! There will be so many of them released people will loose interest in it and its going to die!?!?!?

I think so, I think Guitar Hero 5 will sells significantly worse than GH World Tour, and that maybe as soon as next year, the franchise won't see yearly releases.

Slowly? I'd say they're on a break-neck pace!

activision is killing mostly anything they're involved with. Fortunately they don't have control over blizzard.

I'd love to see how Activision will manage next gen, when Call of Duty / Guitar Hero will have declined in popularity. I hope it gets rough for them... I really dislike their yearly (or worse, for GH) release strategy. They give us nothing but shovelware and GH/CoD.

How exactly is DJ Hero a Guitar Hero game? It plays different. It uses a different pripheral. You play to different music than in Guitar Hero. I don't see the connection outside of it having "Hero" in the title.

Regarding the rest, for them to manage this many releases tells me the dev costs are pretty low for each title. Different titles appeal to different people. Not everyone that wants Metallica is also going to want Van Halen. That's why they don't stick with the same types of bands for every band specific release. Every title released serves a purpose and a different customer base. Musical tastes are ridiculously varied, even within just rock music. This is why one game every couple of years isn't going to fly. What's great is that with a half dozen releases a year, it gives you choice as to which games you want to pick up. You don't have to just decide on the one game they come out with. You can find something that may better suit your personal taste in music.

yea they make it too much

It has for me. I've lost my interest in it.

Slowly?

The first game came out 4 years ago and the series is dead to me.
