I was responding to what I perceived as the claims of the linked posts.

My point is that mashing buttons based on a sequence of video prompts is not the creation of music no matter how you look at it.
Could a "game" use the thumb sticks and buttons to turn the controllers into a virtual instrument that would allow the "gamer" to create original works or even copy existing works, sure, but that is not what these games are doing from what I can tell. That is what I meant by my previous post.
I know it is a game and supposed to be fun.
