I noticed today after reading the article on Just Dance breaking the 4 million mark that Just Dance is not sold in Japan. Or at least it is not regestered by VGChartz to be for sale in Japan. This got me wondering big time. UbiSoft says teenage girls are the main market for Just Dance, but isn't UbiSoft missing a huge opportunity to sell the title in a country where there are alot of female gamers?

I notice UbiSoft doesn't sell many of their titles in Japan, with all of UbiSoft's outsourcing to Asia you'd think they would be taking advantage of the local markets like Japan, Korea etc....etc....

Anybody think for Just Dance 2 they should launch it in Japan? Any idea why UbiSoft didn't launch the first one there?

I though that some time ago, and I think they are missing a huge opportunity there, I don't see how it would't be a sucess there as well.

No

Reason: language barrier.

The issue of how the content (songs in English) may be a problem, but DDR has managed to make it in Japan as far as I know.

I think if Ubi tried a little it would be worth their effort bringing it over there.

Well DDR was originally made for the purpose of being an arcade game in Japan by konami. Also, they use different songs in the Japanese versions (Or atleast many of the japanese versions)

You could apply the same concept with just dance, except backwards with localization. And include Lady Gaga :P

Square-Enix Publishes Ubisoft games in Japan Now

But I think this would be a good game/IP to make for japan. Dunno I'm no marketing expert though!

I wonder if nintendo would want to publish it like they did with MH3 in EU, and mario and sonic in japan... That could work!!

It could if it had entirely different content and a quality localization. So no.
