EA announced today that the demo for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has been downloaded 3.5 million times on Xbox 360 and PS3.

"3.5 million people have tried out Battlefield Bad Company 2 on Xbox 360 and PS3," they tweeted. "Check it out now! Game out 3/2! Demo ends 2/25."

Considering the demo hit the two million mark just over a week ago, that's pretty damn impressive.

Music and rhythm game sales have been falling pretty drastically as of late. It seems as though the "Guitar Hero" craze has all but passed, but strangely, there's still a market for music game DLC. Microsoft's David Dennis told GamesIndustry.biz that sales of songs and track packs on Xbox Live were still going strong despite last month's decline in hardware and software sales for the genre.

"We still see a lot of activity on Live for those games, people are still buying a lot of song packs for them," he said. "And that's an ongoing revenue stream that third parties can do, and leverage games like that to keep the experience fresh. It's a steady stream, and a sort of steady adoption."

Dennis believes that the games are able to hook players, which increases their need to download new tracks and content.

"I know that people are very passionate about the music games and play them over and over and over again, they keep coming back and downloading more and more content," added Dennis. It's an investment in a music library, just as you would for your CD library. People are passionate about building out their music game library, it's something that they cherish and play with their friends over again."
