No new songs (but i wish!)

[Bront20]

Anything having to do with the next consoles would entail a new game, and Harmonix have made it clear that they're not making another Rock Band or anything else involving plastic instruments.

They aren't at the moment. That doesn't mean it won't change, but I wouldn't expect anything till at the earlist next fall if they did decide to make a next gen Rock Band.

I don't think secrecy on next-gen consoles is the reason we're not hearing about something they might start making a few years from now. Expecting new DLC for a game that hasn't had anything in over three years, especially as a result of ending a nearly 5 1/2 year run on the main Rock Band series, will only lead to disappointment, as is expecting some Beatles announcement any time soon despite the fact that they're too busy working on completely unrelated projects.

If you'd read the OP he asks: "Does ANYBODY know if there is going to be a new beatles game?", he wasn't lobbying for more DLC and wasn't "expecting some Beatles announcement any time soon", until something is announced don't expect discussion about the POSSIBILITIES to go away "any time soon". You have an opinion on the reasons why there's nothing imminent but there are others who don't share in your eternal skepticism, the OP so much as admitted to wishful thinking if you even bothered to read the title, nothing wrong with that...:-)
