Gh3_logo Activision has announced that sales of Guitar Hero III topped $115 million during the first seven days of sales. Guitar Hero III is popular? Who knew? It's those sleeper hits that take you by surprise.

Not surprisingly, such rampant success makes GH3 the biggest launch in Activision's history. It's also apparently the only videogame on the Toys R Us Hot Toy List for 2007, and it made the  Toy Wishes Hot Dozen 2007. Wait...Guitar Hero III is a toy?
