The latest title in the Guitar Hero series has proven an instant hit with Nintendo DS owners in the US totalling 300,000 sales in the first week of launch. With such a high turnover, it comes as no surprise that Guitar Hero: On Tour has become the fastest selling Nintendo DS title in North America. It also ranks as one of the the top five Activision titles (sales-during-launch). With the game arriving in European shores in two weeks it will be interesting to see how well it fares over here.

This has been confirmed by Square Enix via a press release released in Yahoo’s business section. The game is set to arrive in the States this autumn.

The reason; Sony received a “Limited number of calls” from PS3 owners reporting that their console was ‘bricking.’ Sony have pulled the update from the servers and will re-release it once the problem has been isolated. We’ll keep you updated on the much talked about 2.40 update that brings trophies and in-game XMB support to the PS3.
