Want to make money in the music business?

Don't sell CDs, or even downloads.

Sell video games:

Guitar Hero: Aerosmith outsells Aerosmith album - Video Game Feature - Yahoo! Video Games

Look at the difference in what both have generated:

-$2 million in album sales (most recent album) for first week

vs

-$25 million in the first WEEK for sales of the video game!

Do I sense a significant shift here?
