in my opinion
Who would guess and Guitar game but tell me if this sounds familiar, Fully Functioning Electric guitar!
Yea its called RockBand 3 kinder.
Why release something that only recently failured? Rockstar 3. My prediction is that this game will be canceled after e3
Here is the article
Ubisoft is to release an all new rhythm action game dubbed Rocksmith, featuring a fully-functioning electric guitar and songs by big names such as David Bowie, Nirvana and The Rolling Stones.
The announcement – as broken by The Hollywood Reporter – comes just over a month after Activision pulled the plug on the Guitar Hero series, and in a climate where the music genre is generally believed to be struggling.
Rocksmith, however, looks to position itself differently to the competition. "Guitar Hero is a party game," said Ubisoft's senior VP of marketing Tony Key, "Rocksmith is a music experience."
Ubisoft is believed to be looking to partner with Gibson and other guitar manufacturers to create an experience that's more geared towards learning how to play the instrument. Harmonix's Rock Band 3, which released last year, took a similar approach with its full-priced, full-sized and fully functioning Fender Stratocaster guitar peripheral, though Rocksmith looks to have trumped it with its ability to support "most" electric guitars thanks to an input jack that's plugged into the console.
"The dream of playing guitar compared to how many follow through -- there's a big gap," Key said in Rocksmith's defence. "We will create a new generation of guitar players."
Rocksmith is looking to launch this September, and is said to feature songs not available on either RockBand or Guitar Hero.

if this was to let say release in september 2012 then yea it will have an greater sucess then now. Also the whole sucess on guitar hero and Rockband was its closness to being an god at the guitar without learning how to use the thing. My guess Ubisoft started working on this in 2008 at the hight of the genre and my guess was that they were going to cancel it on the back of activison cutting guitar hero and Rockband 3 failing and rather see how this gets recieved.
the only way i can see this doing good is it becomes downloadable educational game geared towards and niche market because an full price or any priced retail game will fail, and fail hard.
Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
