ROCK BAND MAKES $1 BILLION
The brains behind the Rock Band video game phenomenon aren't feeling the pinch of the economic crisis - they've netted a tidy $1 billion (£684 million) in just 15 months.
And that's just in North American retail sales alone!
In addition, more than 40 million individual tracks have been downloaded and purchased via the Rock Band platform, according to statistics.
Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, released in 2007, was the first video game ever to break the $1 billion barrier.
