Nintendo thought infrared was the future.
They were wrong.
Nintendo stopped being the future since 1989.

What was the fucking point of this phone jack port on the Guitar Hero controllers?

Well actually IR became a staple for phones in Japan for quite some time. Though I think now they're doing NFC more.

Literally seraching your fucking quote in google you dipshit
>"It's an effects pedal port. It tells you that in the instruction booklet that came with the guitar (ie in the big box, not the one in the game case) and then goes onto say that its not yet in use on the next page. Various sites have also shown the wiring inside the controller to have PEDAL printed on the circuit board which goes to the slot (if further proof were needed).
>This is more than likely for use in future projects like Rock Band / GHIII (I forget which companies are involved with what now, so whichever one continues using this product)

Japan's flip phones were so fucking ahead of their time.
They used mail addresses instead of SMS and exchanged them fast using infrared before NFC was ever a thing.
