During the same period, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock was the only video game listed among the top 500 search terms across all categories of web sites.

“Consumer interest in Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare has been incredible and places Activision in a strong position heading into the holiday season,” said Robin Kaminsky, executive vice president of Activision Publishing. “Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock sold through more than $115 million within the first seven days of its launch and we fully expect Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare will be one of the top-selling games of the year.”
