It makes perfect sense if you've ever had to support widely different hardware on different platforms. They provide the cable to streamline their support. I still have working guitar leads that are over ten years old. Works perfectly, but I know how to treat cables.

I've got about 50 hours on RS2014 so far.

I had some sound issues in the first week but it's been way solid since then. I have zero problems with bugs, apart from having to turn the cable gain up. I really am surprised that such a buggy game got past QC at sony and MS. So really, I hope the devs step up the game and start bug-fixing or I am bailing out on the game as soon as there's a better alternative. The RealTone cable on the other hand seems to be of a shoddy build and costs more than equivalent stuff would. They can use whatever they like, but the DualShock ones tend to by of a good quality so a lot of people don't bother. No-one is required to buy PlayStation DualShock controllers for the ps3. The cable is proprietary hardware and no different than controllers. I hope they step up their game before someone makes a rip-off that's better. The game is buggy as fuck and still has a lot of poor design decisions(mirrored strings as default instead of tab? It's nearly like they're trying to make it hard for beginners so they never decide to try to learn from tabs.) That being said, it's a great idea with a mediocre implementation. I bought the game with the cable and all. Rocksmith Note Guide (aka what is this symbol?) See how you Rank Worldwide with Rocksmith Buddy!

It dynamically adjusts the difficulty to your skill level, then slowly introduces more notes and phrases until you’re playing your favorite songs note-for-note. Rocksmith is a music video game series which aims to teach guitar by letting you plug in virtually any guitar or bass and becomes your personal guitar teacher as it monitors how you play.
