The first time I got wind of DJ Hero I, just like many others, thought it was pretty ridiculous. I mean, Guitar Hero itself is a bit gimmicky (despite making millions) but a turn table peripheral? It just didn’t seem like it would catch on.

However, despite this, Activision CEO, Bobby Kotick has stepped forward to tell us the following:

“I thinkĀ DJ Hero is a really innovative product. I can’t wait for you to see next year’s. That’s the thing; we’re sticking with it. We’ll stick with it and get it right. But it’s going to be less games, better games. That’s our strategy.”

So does this mean we won’t see a million different Guitar Hero titles launched every year? Let’s hope so.

A while back, Activision threatened Sony that they would stop supporting the Playstation if they didn’t drop its price to a more reasonable point. Following this threat, Capcom responded by saying they won’t be dropping the Playstation because, well, it’s another chance for them to make money.

Finally, Sony main man Howard Stringer has stepped in to respond to Activision’s CEO Bobby Kotick:

He certainly likes to make a lot of noise, I lose money on every PlayStation I make

It’s not much, but it’s certainly a statement. Let the war begin!
