Rock Band 4 not coming to Wii U because "the audience is not there"

No, due to backwards compatability the Wii U is the only current gen console where the instruments will cross straight over. New instruments won't be needed for anyone with either GH of RB from the Wii (which is a lot of people). That's going to be the biggest hurdle for people thinking of buying the game on XBone / PS4. That's why this game really should have seen a Wii U release....

This is all the more reason the Wii U version is a lower priority though.

You CAN'T play Rock Band in any form on PS4 or XB1.

Except that Harmonix are working on making the PS360 "instruments" backwards compatible for the PS4/Xbone, so it is clearly a concern.

They wouldn't even need to develop new "instruments" at all, surely the Wii U would be much cheaper than the others to develop for.
