360 rhythm-game instruments will be compatible too

On Monday I spoke about Sonys announcement that all music accessories will be compatible with each other in the future. Well it seems like MicroSoft will be following their lead.

Microsoft officially confirmed today that peripherals for upcoming Xbox 360 rhythm games from Activision Blizzard, MTV Games, and Konami would enjoy similar support. “All the instruments from Rock Band 2, Guitar Hero: World Tour, and Rock Revolution will be cross-compatible,” said Microsoft online community manager Chris Paladino on the publisher’s official marketing blog.

Rock Band 1’s instruments should work with the second installment but they are unlikely to work with Guitar Hero 4. Regardless, this is great news for music gaming fans.
