Sudden market over-saturation and the annoyance of too much peripherals.

It was just a fad.

Rock Band is still putting out DLC, if you can find the instruments. The company that made them went bankrupt and Harmonix never got a replacement.

Oversaturation was the biggest factor
There was a new GH every year for awhile

They still add decent songs. This week they added Time Warp from Rocky Horror.

They ran their course, and no one really liked having to buy new gear. I remember the Guitar Hero heyday, when people would literally play it at bars and stuff

I ran out of momentum around the time GH van halen and GH5 came out. I just didn't need to spend the money on another one.

Then they tried rebooting it with GH Live, which... kinda sucked. The song choices were mostly lame, and the new 6-button, 2 rowed controller was awkward to use. Buttons stuck because they'd rub against each other, etc.

I still get guitar hero Metallica and GH Aerosmith out from time to time and play them, though. Those two were my favorites.

Last attempts at keeping the industry going were things like DJ Hero - shit that no one asked for and wasn't as fun to play.
I did love all those mashup tracks though.

Rhythm games are still going strong in Japan! Dance Dance Revolution, Beatmania IIDX, Sound Voltex, Popn Music. Go to a Round 1 arcade in the US and try them out! Beatmania IIDX is my favorite.

Just try to handle this.
