still don't get it??

Xbox360 won't win, who will buy it?

whatever Microsoft says, people don't like it!! :p

Oh, the irony here is unreal. My daughter loves DDR type games but when her metal dance pad broke after intense use (PS2 version), we haven't played any more. There are 3 or 4 DDR games for the 360 but there isn't a high quality metal dance pad for the 360. Why is that you ask? Because Microsoft's heavy-handed management of accessories -- i.e. blocking access to the joystick port unless you license the chip required to plug in a device. I believe the cost of that little device is about 20 bucks apiece or so.

So, here they are... advertising the 360 for a genre that doesn't have a quality controller for it on the 360. Asinine.

I really enjoy my 360 but there are some seriously stupid people in charge of the 360 division when you STILL can't buy a quality metal pad for DDR games and they are trying to call attention to it... Yeah, there are a couple of foam ones and a cloth mat one, but if you play DDR with any regularity, they'll be toast. There is no substitute for a good quality metal pad. Man, I really wonder about MS sometimes...

 that is a bad assumption to make--amateurs often times have better insights than professionals.

 you're entitled to that opinion, of course, since it's a very practical assumption, but it adds nothing to the conversation. 

if you literally meant what you said, i apologize in advance. 

I thought they would do something creative like give free Pizza Hut or MacDonalds coupon with 360 games.

This way we could play 360 to gain back the weight we lost playing the Wii !

ROFL! The 360 promoting "family fitness" - what will they think of next?

"WiiFit" (Wii) --> "WeFat" (MS) ??

sounds like a horrible idea to me

 Microsoft doesn't know what it takes to be a market leader.  You can't cite their success in the Office and OS market as leadership either, look where they've gone with it and how they got there (i.e. illegal and unethical business practices).

 DDR is a great cardio workout, and good for certain leg muscles, but Wii Fit also trains upper body strength, balance, and core muscles for a more balanced workout.

DDR is probably more fun than Wii Fit. 

 Copying doesn't tend to work all by its lonesome.  If all Apple had done was copy the PC, music player or cell phone manufacturers they would be just another Dell, Rio, or Nokia of those respecitve markets rather than carving a large piece of the pie to themselves.  Apple through great marketing, product design, interface design and good engineering (these guys do a lot more than most think, I would know, I interned in their VLSI/hardware research group) can make something once clunky or unappealing to the masses and make it quite the opposite.

 If you're feeling adventurous, here's a guide on how to get a Cobalt Flux DDR pad to work with an Xbox 360:

I highly recommend the Cobalt Flux pad, BTW. It's invulnerable. My brother-in-law is up to 7-step difficulty and he weighs just shy of 300 lbs, but the pad just keeps on taking it.
