The GH-style of rebadging and re-selling retail games will definitely decline. As will the epic bundles. (They already have, really). And the wisdom of 'Rock Band"-as-music platform will prove itself.
The biggest real risk I see for the genre, is DLC DRM. If there's a major platform upset next generation, I think a bunch of the biggest Rock Band fans are going to suddenly realize the value of their Rock Band library just tanked.
Sure, they can keep their old console to play Rock Band 2. But they'll still be pissed. And that will translate to fewer future song purchases.
I hope Harmonix is thinking through a solution that problem. Because it will happen.
