Well, the thing is, Guitar Hero itself is an 80 dollar game, yet the second installment sold like hot-cakes in its full game-and-controller set form. There's a market for games like that now. It might not be as massive as Madden '08: Special Platinum Limited Fan Collector's Fingerbang Edition's, but it is there.
Those games you mentioned, by the way, didn't really fail because of the peripheral, I think. They failed because they were on a system that never really generated a lot of sales momentum after the first few months.
