I had GH2 for the xbox before the Harmonix split from Activision. So I stuck with the Xbox versions because I already had the hardware, plus, there seems to be better support for the guitars (regardless of which game they officially belong to) on the Xbox. I personally have an affinity for the RB series although I play both. RB is still developed by the original developer of GH so I guess I sort of followed and supported the developer more so then the actual game franchise.

I have arguments for both tho:
RB is a little more innovative, but I do wish they would add a 5th drum pad like GHWT did.
GH is a little more challenging (i.e. more notes and more complicated patterns), but the timing seems to be more precise on the RB side. RB, while not having as many notes, requires more precision and better timing I find.

I haven't picked up GH5 yet, I've been bouncing back and forth regarding getting the full package for a new drum set or just the game and using my VERY beat up GHWT set. I'm also a tiny bit disappointed by the setlist on GH5, except the Arctic Monkeys and Blur song.

The Beatles Rock Band is great though, I just wish I could import the songs like i could between RB 1 and 2 for an uber list of tracks.
