Survey: One Third Of Gamers Buy Music Game Songs
Have you bought a song or album because of Guitar Hero or Rock Band? Jacobs Media, a radio consulting company did a survey that found one third of players buy songs from the games, calling music video games "game changers" for rock music.
Big label artists obviously agree, with Metallica, Aerosmith and Coldplay on their way down the pipeline hoping to introduce new fans to their tunes through the magic of mashing brightly-colored buttons on plastic instruments.
Jacobs Media also pointed out there's an internet radio station, RadioIO, with a channel that plays nothing but rhythm game music. No one's gonna taaaake me aliiiiiiiiive.
Have music games influenced your taste in music, or your buying habits? And while we're at it, what's your favorite track from Guitar Hero or Rock Band?
