An article on Slashdot talks about how the music genre is on the decline. There are no music games in the top 20 sold games in the past two months. Also revenue for these games are down almost 50%.
I think the reason for this that the market was quickly saturated plus the quick start with the songs available. With so many songs available from the beginning, people were able to buy a lot of the songs they wanted to really quickly. With the amounts of songs available and the length of time these types of games have been, it's no wonder that the market is saturated and profits are dipping. There will always be that following of people who love these games, but with the lack of innovation on the developers parts, these games seem to have hit their high point and probably won't see anymore major growth.
