The popularity of the series would begin to tamper off once Harmonix released ''[[Guitar Hero]]'', it too morphed into a phenomenon, but this time it was one much greater than what ''Karaoke Revolution'' achieved. Coinciding with Activision's acquisition of the franchise, Harmonix would throw together what it developed for both ''Guitar Hero'' and ''Karaoke Revolution'' (along with some other new mechanics) to create [[Rock Band|a certain other music game]]. |

Konami would reboot the series sans Harmonix in 2009 with a new release for the Xbox 360, [[Play Station 3]], and Wii simply titled "Karaoke Revolution", now featuring only master tracks, better multiplayer, and other new features.

The 2009 release would only use master tracks to be more in line with its competitors. |
