Harmonix and EA are blatently lying about Wii Guitar Compatability!

What I am saying is this:
EA could have their game support Classic Controller setup. That is, You can play the guitar part of RB with a classic controller. Voila! Now you are able to use your GH guitar with it, and Activision can't do anything. They aren't supporting the guitar, they are supporting the classic controller. Activision could do jack shit about it, and the consumer is happy.

If you honestly believe that Nintendo would let Activision determine who is able to implement the classic controller for use in games, you must not be looking at the same Nintendo I am.

Edit: Also, I forgot to say - Activision not supporting Wii would be more akin to a movie studio coming out now and saying 'You know what? Forget blu-ray - I want HD-DVD.".  They're perfectly within their rights to do it... they just might have a shareholder suit on their hands for deliberately sabotaging their ability to profit.  THAT is why I am saying Nintendo holds the upper hand; they don't need Activision.  Activision is nice to have, but Activision would be eliminating themselves from a large, profitable part of the industry if they didn't release on the Wii.  Judging by GH3 sales, they'd be losing about 2 million sales on GH4 by not releasing on Wii.  So while Nintendo would lose less than $20M from that (7 dollar license fees estimated at $10 for ease of computation, Activision would lose $70M (est. $35 per game sold)... not to mention the Wii's user base is growing faster than the other two consoles on the market.

Activision not supporting Sony would hurt Sony far worse than Activision.  Activision not supporting the Wii with a franchise that has been shown to have success on the Wii?  Definite cause for a shareholder lawsuit.
