We havent had confirmation from M$ on this at all. All we know is the games at E3 were 2 players, and Dance Central was upto 3 players ( and the adverts for DC confirm 3 players ).
And yes Hardcore motion controller gamers are in the minority. Look at the sales of Conduit, or Red Steel, or any mature/hard to grasp game on Wii. The sales are dismal in comparison to core games on PS3 let alone 360.
Even the Mario/Mario Kart franchise has been streamlined and dumbed down compared to the challenge you used to get in my good old Ninty days.
If it was the hardcore market really buying the wii, they would have been buying the Gamecube last gen. As for hardcore games the Gamecube was both more challenging and better for the core gamer.

you beat me to it..it only 'tracks' two active players...
anywho nice Spin selnor ;)
and btw isn't Kinect games more expensive than those of move as well?
Not in the UK. Move titles are £39.99. So are all M$ 360 games. Except the odd £44.99.
And thanks for the info. Maybe Dance Central uses a less active pick up for background dancers or something.
The video below shows 2 players for all games except Dance Central.
you can't be serious in using those vids as proof now are you?
and in the case of prices then US is getting screwed then lol we are even
I've already read up and had listened to a lot of podcasts on dancen central, 2 active players, tracks people in background, maybe the device can do more, but the problem is who the hell has the space in the common wealth? Kintect is a good idea, built on limitations.
ps: regardeless, dance central looks like a cool ass game.
