Wii Fit + Rock Band Wii = Death of "revenue" argument for 360 apologists

May I ask why the Wii version of Rock Band is going to do gangbusters, when the PS2 version, from any standards, was DOA?

I suspect more new songs will be sold via the inevitable disc-based expansions to Rock Band than by DLC, so there should still be a market for a "gimped" version.

So the choices are:

1) Buy Rock Band for PS3/360 and play songs whenever you want, in any order you want. Buy up to 3 new songs a week, and buy only the songs you like.

2) Buy Rock Band Wii and insert Disk 1 to play songs A, B, and C; insert Disk 2 expansion to play songs D, E, F; insert Disk 3 expansion... Wait X months for the next disc-based expansion to be released (certainly not weekly), and pay for every song on the disk whether you like a song or not.

So when you say more new songs will be sold via disc-based expansions than via DLC, basically you're saying most consumers look at the options and make economically irrational decisions?
