Forums - Gaming - Why do XB1 owners love Just Dance games?

TheObserver on 23 March 2015

It's pretty much the only franchise that sells more on XB1 compared to PS4.

Usually I hear that XB owners love FPS, but even those sell more on PS4, unlike Just Dance.

The Kinect is more accurate. Dance Central and Just Dance are more accurately used on the Xbox.

Because it's one of the few Kinect games.



Don't copy random editorials.

Last column is global sales. Numbers taken from vgchartz. So 70.000 sales more than PS4 ... however looking on the whole Picture, I wouldn't say that XB1 owner love Just Dance ...

You sure about that? Cuz I'm not. I've been playing Just Dance 2015 for months on ps4 with the new camera and the tracking seems great to me. It feels very accurate, to the point that even small mistakes will cost you points. Kinect was better than the old camera (pseye?), not sure about the new one.

The kinect 2 is technically better but I very much doubt it has an affect on the gameplay. I've played it on ps4 and everything worked absolutely fine, I don't see how it could be improved. But being bundled with the XBO originally, more people probably own the kinect 2 than the playstation camera so that's probably the reason for greater sales on xbo.

You're probably right. I just get the impression that casual games don't do well on ps consoles. Games like start the party should have been successful, but they weren't even though psMOVE sold over 10m units. Same with the rest of psmove games. Even if it was techincally better, I don't think it would have sold better. But, like you said, kinect being bundled with xb1 was also an important factor.

The Xbox Ones Camera is still more accurate. It was the Move that made the PSEye more accurate and even still more accurate than the one this gen. The PSEye isn't far behind and its much more accurate than last gens PS Eye. They should both allow for easier access to gameplay this gen.

But do you think the difference is significant enough to explain the sales difference? Because it seems to me that it isn't.

Because they've got nothing else to play.

Now, taking the usual jokes aside, it's probably because of the Kinect's audience.
