Neversoft's Brian Bright has told GamerZines that Activision has no plans to launch any band-specific Guitar Hero games this year, telling us that this year they (Activision) really wanted to just focus on two games, presumably the recently announced Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock and DJ Hero 2.
According to sources at both Activision and Neversoft, the next 'Guitar Hero' will be the last one Neversoft does before the franchise is handed over to Vicarious Visions. Vicarious Visions has been the studio who has ported all the prior 'Guitar Hero' games to the Wii.

The You Rock Guitar will be available in February 2010 for $179.95 but will be on display during CES 2010 at Booth 5627 Gaming Showcase, LVCC, North Hall Las Vegas Hilton East Tower Hospitality Suite H2549.
