Video Game More Successful than iTunes (for lame metal band)?



Remember when I told you about Mötley Crüe's stint with Rock Band? Turns out that worked out for the best.

According to the band, their track "Saints of Los Angeles" sold five times better on the game than it did on iTunes, Amazon.com, and other music retail sites.

I suppose this makes sense. On Rock Band, the song is a challenge. It's not a piece of art, but a level on a video game. People are more interested in the game than the Crüe.
