Any idea now that GHWT has come out if the instruments will be compatible with the Rock Band 2 instruments? Or will I have to wait til RB2 comes out to find out? (And yes I've seen the articles that say they won't be, but I've seen an interview from Harmonix made within a week that they might be. So don't tell me an answer you have recent evdience please)
Why would Guitar Hero World Tour's instruments be compatible with Rock Band 2's, especially when they're competing with eachother? That doesn't seem like a smart thing to do since one of those games would be losing out on a lot of money. Someone would only have to buy one of the Band kits that comes with the drums and everything, and then just buy a copy of the other game without the drums and everything else. They're competing with eachother, it wouldn't make sense for them to want to help eachother out like that.
I agree personally. Apparently though I'm the only one to do the reasearch. They both are compatible for 360 and PS3. So what you said is a moot point; they already have helped each other out on the other systems.

They are the same but WOrld tour you have to put in your wiimotes in side the instruments and Rock band 2 you don't.
Sigh. I have to be more clear. What I mean is will you be able to use the World Tour instruments on Rock Band 2 or vice versa? And don't say that's ridiculous because you can on 360 and PS3.

Your rant seems to offer nothing towards the actual answer ofcompatibility
You supposedly can use the world tour instruments on Rock Band 2 on the Wii. I have no idea about the other way around. They both do have different interfaces but all the developers would have to do is add the ability for the software to recognize both. The PS3 and 360 versions do (mostly) and they'll even adjust for the different drumsets as Guitar Hero's has more input pads. It can easily be done, its just a matter of putting the resources into it. I just wish the PS3 Rock Band instruments would work on the Wii Guitar Hero, that's would help me, as my guitar hero drumset doesn't work right. I guess I can dream.

If you think about it, how many people would get both games? Not many. Wouldn't it be beneficial for both companies to have compatible parts? This way lets say you buy Rock Band 2's drums and guitar set, you can still go out and just purchase the actual disc for World Tour rather than rebuying the drums and guitar. This allows for BOTH companies to gain some sort of profit.
