Here’s a little update for video gamers going gaga over Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock. Activision is now reporting that just after seven days of being in North American shelves, the total sales of the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii versions has already surpassed the US$ 115 million mark.

Prior to all this, it has already been reported that demands for Guitar Hero III are overwhelming Activision and that there’s a strong possibility the publisher won’t be able to come up with enough supplies. Do take note that the sales figure above is only for the console versions in North America alone.

The PC version will be released in a couple of days and the launch in other regions will happen later this month. Despite that, Activision has also mentioned that Guitar Hero III, as of this point, is already the largest software launch in its history. The company’s chairman and CEO Robert Kotick had this to say:

Guitar Hero III is the game that everyone is talking about. It is the only video game to make the Toys “R” Us Hot Toy list for 2007 and Toy WishesÂ’ Hot Dozen 2007, which forecast the most popular holiday gifts of the season.

Despite having significantly increased our production capabilities for the holiday, there is still a high likelihood that we will not be able to meet demand for this game on every platform.
