It's called keeping competitive. and in all actuality rock band ripped off GH first. Also last time I checked GH is still on top as far as sales and such go compared to RB. EA is the one that is copying people and activision is just making it harder stiffer competition.
Well if you put it that way then GH is a ripoff of DDR. They just changed it up from dancing to playing a guitar. Rock Band took the concept of GH but changed it up by adding drums and singing w/ the guitars. So now Activision realizes they dropped the ball big time and should have made Rock Band in the first place, which now they are trying to do by slapping a "Guitar" Hero sticker on Rock Band.
Do you know why GH is so far ahead in sales then RB?
It could have something to do with:
-GH has released 3 new games before RB even hit the shelves.
-GH costs about $100 and RB costs almost double that.
-GH out of the box is only 1 player, making people by an extra guitar so you don't look like such a loner, compared to RB which is 3 player right from the box, so people don't have to go out and buy extra instruments right away.
