I think Guitar Hero and Rock Band are 15 minutes ago and nobody is jumping to do them anymore.

Yah. Over saturation of the market. They put so many new games and all the add on track pads. I think they overdid it and people lost interest.

I can't remember if it's guitar hero or rock band, but one of the franchises decided to call it a day.

Activision Publishing for Guitar Hero called it quits. It did saturate the market. They didn't have to release so many physical discs. They all could of been downloadable content. Ok, it was cool & all each year they released a new guitar, but they mass produced so many discs which they didn't need to. All their releases now are selling for $9.99 (even cheaper) at the stores taking a huge plunge in income.

It is nice to have so many songs without drum track to hook up into my Roland kit to play along to.

Yeah, it seemed like every timed I turned around they were releasing a different controller. The touch pad one, the stringed one, etc. There were some compatibility issues between Rock Band games and Guitar Hero games, even though the controllers were basically the same. It was just an attempt by one company to get you to drop $100 on their hardware.

It seemed to me though that the game was fun and reached its peak with The Beatles game, the more they attempted to make it more realistic, the more it became harder to justify the games. After all, the more real they made it, the more it became like actually playing a guitar, and it just seems like buying/learning a guitar was more practical. Sports, War and Fighting simulations are one thing, but simulating an activity that you can do while sitting down as easily as playing the game was becoming harder to justify. And if you were some big fan of the games who kept buying the software and the upgraded guitars, you could have bought a nice guitar for the money you'd been dropping on it.
