"Stop Selling Rival Products" Says Guitar Hero Boss to Retailers
 

That's right folks, Guitar Hero boss Michael Sportouch has stated on record that he wants retailers to stop selling rival products. He claims that retailers shouldn't be selling products that don't sell through as he believes that his products are the only ones with retail value.

"One thing I do say to retailers is that they should stop selling those rival products which don’t sell through, and instead focus on the products that are selling through and generate retail value and return on investment. I’m not here to talk about the competition, but one of our competitors we outsell nine to one, eight to one or seven to one depending on the week," said Michael Sportouch, Senior Director of Guitar Hero. "The last GfK research showed that we have a 50 per cent market share of the music category – which includes Rock Band, Wii Music, SingStar and every other music game."

So is this Activision being even more greedy? I would personally say so.

:O....how absurd....I cannot believe these ppl



At first I thought meant 3rd party guitars, which would be a dumb request, but stop selling rival franchises??? Even stupider.

Truth. The Beatles is selling what GH5 has done in a few weeks with just one week!



It's just that simple.

That's wrong.

And I also heard Ralph Baer asks retailers to stop selling rival products...



Wow.... ridiculous.



Wow. Now I'm really glad that I picked up Rock Band 2 instead of Guitar Hero: World Tour.



What an arrogant ass. I think that the retailers know how to run their own businesses - they don't need Sportouch (Sport Ouch - seriously?) to tell them how to do it.



Seriously, why is Blizzard still hanging out with those guys? :(



I LOVE ICELAND!
