no. the game is for anyone who likes having fun with music.
just like Dom i was a musician before trying new things via the game, and thinking in the same lines you did, until i finally swallowed my pride and let myself have fun with it. until this point it was never about replacing anything and even with the move towards using legitimate instruments as controllers i think it's going to do more towards teaching far more people about playing music than it's going to be any sort of detriment to the everything of 'music'.
i've seriously considered buying a real drum kit, but while i still live in an apartment reality dictates that it would just collect dust in a closet for an indeterminable amount of time. until then i can practice my skills on the plastic kit. i've got no illusions on being able to just flip flop from the game to the jam room, but at the same time i've got no doubts that i could sit on a kit and keep a beat.
as for the pro-guitar mode, i'm going to wait and see. i wonder how hard it would be to transfer electronics from their Squire controller into my mexican strat? hehehe
