Despite the unfortunate news of layoffs that occurred over at the Harmonix offices, there comes good news in the form of The Beatles: Rock Band. Reportedly, the Fab Four’s video game has already sold over one million copies worldwide.

 

A spokesperson contacted Industry Gamers to reiterate that the layoffs were due to completely different reasons, and not because of low sales for the game.

 

“This was a process and a business decision unrelated to the performance of any MTV Games/ Harmonix product. MTV Games and Harmonix are very pleased with the sales of our Rock Band titles and we expect to continue to see strong sales throughout the holidays across all of our titles. The Beatles: Rock Band has sold over 1 million units worldwide to date. Again, the reason for the restructuring is due to better aligning our staffing to best suit our product development plans and schedules moving forward.”

 

Another milestone they’ve achieved with the franchise is the recent development of them surpassing 1,000 songs in their library, with over 60 million songs downloaded.
