The NPD market research company reported that in addition to charting more than $1 billion in sales, the "Guitar Hero" series has helped create success in other markets, including an upswing in download sales for songs featured in the game of between 15 and 843 percent.
"I think that, over the course of their lives, people develop an emotional attachment to music and you'll develop an overwhelming sense of nostalgia to songs that you grew up with or are growing up with," Jewett said. "The game allows you to play that music."
Neversoft plans to release more sequels to the "Guitar Hero" series — including the much-ballyhooed "Guitar Hero: Metallica" set for release during the first quarter of this year — but the company has let the Tony Hawk series go to another developer.
"It's probably best for the franchise ... it's time for someone else to add fresh ideas to it," Jewett said.
