Just Dance 3 boasts some impressive stats photo

There's no getting around it; the Just Dance series is huge. Like, really huge. Here's some stats to put it into perspective. Since launching back in October, Just Dance 3 has a total of 8.4 million players. According to Ubisoft, that's equivalent to the attendence of 84 Bonnaroo festivals. On a daily basis, 9.4 million minutes of Just Dance 3 is played. That's 17 years of non-stop dancing!

I'll personally never understand why so many people are playing these games. Sure, it's convenient and it's fun to play with friends. But if you wanted to dance that bad you could always just as easily go out and dance yourself. I guess it's getting people to play games and that's always a good thing. I'm sure a few of you out there are part of the 8.4 million user base, so what exactly is it that keeps you coming back to the game?

It has a pull that's addictive. I didn't understand it as well, until I saw it at the Devastation 2011 fighting tournament [Yes, I know ¬_¬"]
Although that was Dance Central 2, and it just infects some region of the mind that makes people want to join in or watch others playing it.

It's also excellent for baby-sitting. Have the young ones dance and tire themselves out :P

These games really are (surprisingly) a lot of fun with, you know, friends... :O

They're so much fun when friends come over. Really, it's fucking hilarious.

I only ever play it when I'm with friends. I tried it alone, and yeah... pretty lame.

I'm hoping it'll be different with Dance Central 2 when I unbox my Kinect in a few days, since that game looks more like... a game. And you sort of have to actually... dance... a little?

I don't play it much alone, but my girlfriend (captain of a dance team) loves this game. It just gives me a chance to enjoy video games with her.
