Although The Beatles: Rock Band is selling well, Activision claims that The Fab Four are no match for Guitar Hero 5. According to the Financial Times:

“Dan Rosensweig, head of the Guitar Hero division at Activision, told the Financial Times it had seen no impact from the heavily-marketed Beatles game. ‘It did not affect our sales’. He added that Guitar Hero outsold Rock Band by four to one in the US and nine to one in other markets.”

Last month, TheFeed’s Stephen Johnson reported that analysts expect Guitar Hero 5 to sell twice as much as The Beatles: Rock Band.
