Joke: Activision Reports Sluggish Sale of Sousaphone Hero

Our favorite satirical news website, The Onion, has released a Guitar Hero themed story, reporting on the poor sales of Sousaphone Hero and mentioning how it has “sold a mere 52 copies in the United States in its opening week” and that is ”despite a catchy 1890s soundtrack and realistic-feeling game play”.

We would like to thank The Onion for touching on an idea that we’ve had for quite some time.  As always, the story is well written and hilarious and we recommend you check it out.

“In the career mode, you can rise from playing in park gazebos for church picnics to performing in the halftime show of the Harvard-Yale game,” and “If you score enough points, you can unlock the ultimate level: playing in the John Philip Sousa–led Marine Band at Grover Cleveland’s inauguration.”
