Ubisoft announced Strictly Come Dancing

The game is being developed by an unknown developer, although it doesn’t take Einstein to work out that on the back of Dance on Broadway (Wii, PS Move), Just Dance 2 (Wii) and Michael Jackson: The Experience (Wii, PS Move, Kinect), its likely that Ubisoft Paris are involved somehow.

Kinect shovel ware with crappy reduced port for Move/Wii???? (just like the Jackson experience game) Seriously who buys this. Strictly come dancing is popular with the older generation. My grandma who needs a zimmer frame loves the show but I some how do not see here busting out the salsa.

I have to agree. Ubisoft seem to be just throwing whatever they can at every console ever. What they don't get, is that if they focused development time on single formats, they'd make better games.

Personally I see dancing games as a means to make easy money, and a lot of it too.

Social people (which I think makes up to majority in the world/ or maybe just more noticeable), are more likely to enjoy being around others. Which leads to enjoying activities that includes others, in other words 'dancing'. Being a casual type game, and that the casual population is greater than the "core" population, more are very likely to purchase a dancing game in order to be with other social people (friends/family).

Knowing this companies will want to take advantage of their conscious wants.

these types of games, though they may sell a lot, do not keep the casual consumer interested in the long run. So companies need to find ways to create now ways to attract the same type of consumer into buying the same product with various changes.

If the company feels that they cannot increase or hold similar sales to other dance games, then they would likely not bother creating the game.

Which is probably the case with this game.
