@Jonman, I personally see Rock Band as very expensive for any console - no matter what the price of the original console was - and I believe that this is the same for many people. Wii games do not really occupy a very lower price point for regular games to start with (only $10 in the case of the top of the line titles). If there is not a good amount of cash floating about in Wii-owners pockets, then why did Guitar Hero III sale thus far in good numbers (an expensive purchase when compared with many consumer media purchases). Yes of course there is more money willing to be spent by "hardcore" gamers, but this crowd still exists to some point on the Wii - nonetheless, there is still a significant enough crowd on the Wii that would be willing and would like to purchase Rock Band for the Wii (and a company like EA does not usually say no to a good possibility at making money).
