The heavily delayed popularity boom of music games in the west was to their benefit, it was.

Eh, Guitar Hero is a different beast though...I mean...there's songs on there that Americans actually CARE about, unlike Guitar Freaks and DDR. I like 'em both as well, mind you, but it's a much more common experience for people to have been playing air guitar to Guns N Roses than dance along to "Little Butterfly."

Precisely my point, as that was the reason the music genre didn't really take off in the west until Harmonix started working its magic.

Yes, thank Guitar Hero for that!

I see people playing the game at the kiosks in retail stores all the time.

Go Activision!
