Aerosmith's Ultimate Sellout

Posted Sep 21st 2008 5:15AM by TMZ Staff

The music industry has officially gone to the gamers.

In June, Guitar Hero: Aerosmith turned out to be the band's biggest hit yet -- in its first week of sales, the interactive game generated far more revenue than any Aerosmith album ... ever! To give you an idea, the band's latest studio release, "Honkin' on Bobo," had roughly $2 million in sales its first week; Guitar Hero: Aerosmith grossed roughly $25 million, according to RockGamer.

Who knew playing a glorified keytar would turn out to be so popular?
