No More Guitars For You!

This week Activision dropped a franchise you probably heard of: Guitar Hero. If you didn't, I'll fill you in. Guitar Hero was once a popular music game franchise where you would play as one of dozens of musicians and play a wide variety of songs using a guitar shaped controller. 

Reasons:
1.) The once billion dollar franchise is starting to decline in sales.
2.) Activision is trying to focus more on the Call of Duty series, and World of Warcraft.
3.) Activision is using the extra time/money to make more Call of Duty content.
