Harmonix: music games could abandon consoles

It sometimes seems as if a new music rhythm game is released every five minutes, but Harmonix honcho Josh Randall believes things may change in the future. Randall thinks that games like Rock Band may eventually abandon consoles altogether, instead taking the form of instruments with built-in music.

2 - If it can be done in a manner that truly helps people learn to play instruments
I say go for it. Would love to actually learn to play songs on a guitar or drum through a specific peripheral that utilizes the TV as a visual guide on how and what to play.

The rockband drum kit already teaches you how to play drums. I've been playing Guitar for the last 13 years. My dad showed me some chords and then I was self thought. Simple fact been ANYONE can play guitar, one of the easiest instruments ever. But I could never drum. Was terrible at it anytime I tried to even learn.

Thanks to Rockband I'm not a half bad drummer. PLayed through the game on easy with drums, and worked my way up through each difficulty. If you can play a song on expert, then you can pretty much play that song on an actual kit.

We have stand alone games (not consoles) that when plugged into a TV can play games... THEY DO NOT SELL.

@William Wallace

You mean that entire Natal montage was, very likely, faked and not actual footage?

Yes, we know.
