Analyst: Guitar Hero: On Tour will play to huge crowds
While the media reactions to Guitar Hero: On Tour seem to range from dismissive to skeptical to vaguely intrigued, analyst Todd Greenwald believes that the game will arrive at retail as less of an oddity and more of ... a Guitar Hero game. Which means big-time sales.
"We think this title, never having been released on any handheld platform, has the potential to sell several million units at launch, at a $49.99 price point." (Note about the novelty of the release: there is Guitar Hero III Mobile, but that doesn't count.)
He also said that large retailers like Best Buy, Target and Wal-Mart will feature the handheld title prominently in their stores, contributing to the sales. That makes the most sense to us: a Guitar Hero game in a smaller box must be a very attractive item for retailers.

Good to hear that Target will carry it. Trying to buy a new game at something like a GameStop is pointless. They never carry enough inventory on first day games. Target however, always has them. GTA was sold out at my local GS and EB. Target had 400 copies of EACH platform.
I hope this sells well!

It's funny how game stores usually sell out faster than other major retailers. The only advantage to getting it at Gamestop or EB Games is a pair of decent headphone things, and being able to pre-order it.
