Rhythm games grow industry by 32% in '08

it helps when these games are priced $100+

When they say rythmgames they mean the Hannah Montanna games for nintendo DS and PS2 not RB and GH...

This is bad.The genre is growing too quickly which will eventually cause it to collapse.Still I hope we get GH:AC/DC(Far better than Led Zep for GUITAR Hero) before it all ends.

I'm definitely part of those numbers. We bought GH3 with a guitar, then bought the RB game by itself. Later, I bought a microphone (as part of a different game) and a drum set. In June, bought GH:Aerosmith with the guitar so we'd have a second one. So all told, I have spent $99.99 (GH3 and guitar) + $39.99 (got RB on sale from Amazon) + $29.99 (game + mike) + $79.99 (drum set) + $99.99 (GH:A and guitar) for a total of about $320. And that doesn't include the DLC I've gotten (though that has been comparatively cheap since I got some free points cards, and bought other cards at 50-75% off). And I'll be buying both RB2 and GH:WT (game only for both).

Yeah, I'm addicted... :-)

Beatmania IIDX, Pop'n Music, Guitarfreaks and Drummania... All much better than anything mentioned on this article.

And up next from this guy....retro is in.

Is anyone surprised from this? Look at how GH on the Wii is still on the charts almost a year after it came out.
