I hate to say it, but didn't we already see Guitar Freaks US coming? I mean hello - they had Guitar Freaks V2 at E3. I even said it was likely to happen, to compete with Red Octane.
The only way I think Konami can potentially win the battle against RO with this is to also release Drummania in the US (Just call it Percussion Revolution or something) and have it co-incide with the release of Guitar Revolution.
I think if Konami release Drummania over here before anyone else gets the genius idea to release a drum rhythm game (That stupid MTV arcade game DOES NOT COUNT), they can probably one up RO with it. It'd be a good strategic move.
Heck, take those two games and couple them with a release of Karaoke Revolution and you've got yourself a pretty good marketing point. Too bad you can't session multiple PS2s together in the same room. Otherwise Konami could advertise them all in one ad and say "Form your own rock band with Karaoke Revolution, Guitar Revolution and Percussion Revolution"
