Harmonix apparently isn't worried about competition with Activision's Guitar Hero Live and Rock Band 4 doesn't need to sell more in order to be considered a success.
"There's not ambition or expectation that we will outsell Guitar Hero, that we're going up against Activision," Harmonix's creative director and co-founder, Alex Rigopulos, told GamesIndustry.
"But we don't need to. We can actually have a very healthy business serving a much more modest core, a small fraction of the people who played the game previously, and I think we're perfectly content to do that, which frees us from the need to manufacture seven million units of peripherals."
Rock Band 4 hit store shelves yesterday for the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, while Guitar Hero Live releases later this month for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, and iOS.
