Tuesday 11-Jan-2011 5:00 PM JD the "third biggest franchise worldwide in 2010", Ubisoft says

Just Dance 2 has sold more than five million units for the Wii since launching last October, according to internal sales data from publisher Ubisoft.

The Just Dance line, which consists of Just Dance, Just Dance 2 and Just Dance Kids, has sold a combined total of over ten million units globally , and Ubi says it was "the third biggest franchise worldwide in 2010".

"The Just Dance franchise has revitalised the video game music category with consumers worldwide joining the dance movement," said Geoffroy Sardin, chief EMEA sales and marketing officer at Ubisoft.

So, they say it was the third biggest franchise in 2010.

Only behind COD and Mario?

Guitar Hero 3 was the peak of the series... could it happen to Just Dance 3 this year? (Is there any doubt that Just Dance 3 is coming in Q4 this year?)



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

In that case it seems to have already exceeded or at least nearly matched Just Dance.



A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.

Let's see if VGChartz agrees with their "third biggest franchise" claim.

2010 sales of

Just Dance: 4471k
Just Dance 2: 4869k
Just Dance Kids: 375k

Total: 9715k

Now, this confuses me. By VGChartz numbers, Just Dance isn't even the biggest Ubisoft franchise of 2010. All of the Assassin's Creeds combined total out to 9933k.

But sure, that's really a statistical tie.

Now, for biggest franchises, let's see.

Mario: A bit above 40 million
Call of Duty: Roughly 27.5 million
Pokemon: 13.7 million
Halo: 9.846 million

So unless you decide to start splitting up Mario (which would make Mario into New Super Mario Bros = 15.2 million and Mario Kart = 9.3 million), I can't think of any other 9 million franchises for 2010.

 Of course, Wii Sports Resorts made it on its own (11.3 million), But Ubisoft might just not count that.

Even though Ubisoft is talking shipped, I really can't see how Just Dance sold more than Pokemon. I mean, the original surely shipped a substantial amount of copies in 2009, which means that it actually shipped less than 9 million, and Pokemon Gold/Silver (outside of Japan) Pokemon Black/White (Japan) alone shipped more than that.

All in all, 3rd place seems impossible, but Just Dance might very well be 4th. By VGChartz, it's tied 4th with Assassin's Creed and Halo.
