Just Dance is Really Popular

In the inner circle of gaming, it’s completely okay to make fun of games like Just Dance 3. Serious gamers think of them as niche products for kids and casuals, and it’s not rare to see a joke at the franchise’s expense over on Reddit or in the comments section of news posts.

What most gamers may not realize, however, is that Just Dance is ridiculously popular. Ubisoft has just revealed sales figures for the most recent iteration, Just Dance 3 – the game moved 7 million copies. That puts Just Dance 3 at second on the charts for 2011, placing it just behind Modern Warfare 3. Seriously.


The franchise haul for Just Dance is now over 25 million, making it one of the more prominent franchises in the world of gaming. Ubisoft also had some other interesting figures; for example, gamers dance to around 7.5 million songs per day.


It’s easy to forget that there’s such a big market out there for games that don’t involve jumping out of helicopters or slaying dragons, but the success of Just Dance proves that fun is the one commodity all gamers demand.

Yup, this game is very popular in the stores I worked in. We just couldn't get enough of them, and people were happy to accept older releases of the Just Dance series.

Doesn't matter what culture you come from. Everyone likes to dance. And if you can't, watch the women dance.

I'd have gladly joined in on the bashing of Just Dance, along with any other shitty casual games. But then I actually played it at my friend's house, had an embarrassingly good time, and bought it myself as soon as I found somewhere it wasn't sold out.
It's just a fun game to play with someone and just joke around, and even fun to get good at the game. And if a game's fun to play, it definitely deserves to be as popular or more popular than any other highly rated game.
