The Beatles are tough act to follow.And so,several weeks from the release of Green Day:Rock Band,publisher MTV Games has some promoting to do. MTV Games GM Scott Gutherie recently explained the reasoning behind picking the younger,less "classic rock"- oriented band for its next single-act music game following The Beatles:Rock Band.
"We were pleased with the performance of Beatles:Rock Band,but we were expecting higher sales," Gutherie said. "Our core audience of 16- to 34-year-old males are much more familiar with Green Day music than The Beatles."
