Another group claiming they have people on the team who worked on Guitar Hero and Rock Band. This one looking more like the clone games that already exist.

Also has a fall release date in early access. Originally first to be announced this year. A lot of concern about AI generated content.

No song list either.

Might not be buying any of these out of the gate

Plus you need to track down a real cable to use it. I’ve tried using RockSmith a little while back to learn and I found the game only gotten the way of my learning. Not to mention at the time there weren’t songs I cared about learning. You really need to have had mastering finger placement and chords before you ever touch the program. And even then I never got very far with it.

I loved Rockband for the experience of feeling like a rockstar. Feeling like a crowd cheering me on. RockSmith to me is a very different beast. A great milestone in tech but one that serves a very different purpose.

I mostly agree. Like you already noted, both serve different purposes. One is a game and one is gamifying learning. Even without knowing proper finger placement you will, over time, build up the ability to play songs and have a passable foundation to use the instrument. I'd wager any self taught guitarist will have any number of bad habits or irregular approaches to playing... Regardless of method used.

I think (unsurprisingly) that experience [with it] may be subjective. Gamifying repitition using an instrument is a great way to blow past a lot of the hangups people have initially approaching it. Personally I think it's a cool concept and found it sufficent to keep me interested and invested. I definitely think it has its flaws but for some it may be good enough.
