Although they didn't give many details, they did state that the game will "innovate and revolutionize the music genre once again, just as Harmonix did with the original Rock Band, Rock Band 2, and The Beatles: Rock Band."
No platform was mentioned, but since all three Rock Band titles as well as Lego Rock Band have come to Wii and found success on the platform, it can be safely assumed that Rock Band 3 will also be arriving on Nintendo's console.
Personally I think that Guitar Hero is contributing to that far more than Rock Band is, but I see your point.
Four years, six games in this series (assuming this and Green Day ship this year). Time to start a countdown clock for the irrelevance of this genre for video games.

There have been more than 6 games, there's been 10.
Correct me if i'm wrong, but the Wii version of the series doesn't let you import songs, right? Considering that the Wii version was the best selling of the 2 main Rock Band games, I hope Harmonix (who better develop the Wii version and not just hand it off to Pi Studios again) fixes this mistake and lets Wii owners import their purchased songs to Rock Band 3.
They still count as games though, especially since you don't need the main games to actually play them (you can play any of them by themselves). Grand Theft Auto: Episodes From Liberty City can be considered separate, if you want to, since you don't need Grand Theft Auto IV to play them.
If you don't count the track packs, then the number drops to 3 (MAYBE 4 if you count The Beatles). Stand-alone expansion packs still count as games.

I'm definitely interested in this, but it clearly needs to be a larger upgrade from Rock Band 2 than that was to Rock Band 1. I want to be able to bring all of my DLC with me, including RB1 and RB2 tracks to RB3.
My RB setup is on 360, FWIW.
