All hope for Sony and Microsoft is lost

You're misconstruing my words; by 'ridiculous' I mean 'absurd', not bad. As in, the idea of dancing while waving your hands around for the sake of a video game presents a comical image that is hard to take seriously.

Dance Dance Revolution has you move around on a dance pad constantly, and is an accepted staple of gaming. Is this also absurd? Or does it only become absurd once it requires you to use your hands and legs?

Samba De Amigo is a very well recieved game that has you flail your hands around to the rhythm, even in the previous iterations.

Again, it's a little hard to not be suspicious when this particular game is singled out. It sounds fine to me, just as Samba De Amigo, Rock Band, Guitar Hero, Dance Dance Revolution, and Donkey Konga do.

Explain to me, one more time because I seem to be slow, why this specific game is absurd and ridiculous, while all the other games that have you flailing your body around like Rock Band and DDR are considered chic? I'm not asking that question sarcastically, I'm honestly curious.
