On VGC, you can see the 360 version of this game is the most overpriced when you compare the numbers. Around 50% overpriced. XBOX SE number = 1.21mil VGC number = 0.83 mil Whereas the PS3 and Wii numbers more closely match. Wii - 1.19 vs 1.10 PS3 - 0.68 vs 0.60 (SE vs VGC)
Also, Japan is not counted but was it even released there?
Sales of the latest Rock Band game seem to be fueled less by Beatlemania and more by Beatlemildinterest. According to the L.A. Times, the NPD estimates that The Beatles: Rock Band moved 357,000 units in December, for a total of 1.18 million in the U.S. Worldwide, the game has sold 1.7 million, the same amount Rock Band 2 sold in the U.S. alone during its first four months.
Despite a strong start for The Beatles: Rock Band, the Rock Band franchise as a whole failed to generate a profit in the third quarter, says Viacom during a recent earnings call.
On a recent Goldman Sachs conference call, Viacom CEO Philippe Dauman was asked about the performance of The Beatles Rock Band. The game has clearly benefited from a lot of mainstream hype, and it would appear that sales of the game have gotten off to a good start.
Fresh out of Microsoft's E3 presentation we have the first in-game look at The Beatles: Rock Band, along with the first ten announced songs from the game's full 45.
