![]() *That's right: 1400 reviews for just the Wii version alone. And so most Just Dance fans stuck with the Wii and never bothered with the Wii U. The Wii U wasn't made for them (or me) with the pointless tablet. Just Dance got its start on Wii, and folks who like things like Just Dance loved the Wii and bought them in droves. In fact the sales of JD 2020 justify a Wii version of JD 2021, if anything. In short, Wii owners are still willing to purchase good Wii games (and JD on Wii with a Wiimote has ALWAYS been better than JD on Xbox or PS3). In fact, JD 2020 for Wii is second only to the Switch version in sales (the Wii version has outsold the PS4 and XBOne versions) and has over 1400 reviews (!!!!) on Amazon right now.* This Wii game has sold more physical units than any Wii U game since 2017. JD 2019 on the Wii, however, outsold it just as it has done since the first version of JD for the Wii U and JD2019 on Wii was profitable for Ubisoft. It still would've been nice to have one last Wii U release.īecause JD 2019 for Wii U sold less than 1000 copies, making it a loss for Ubisoft. But in my opinion, 2020 should've made it onto the console. Wario's Woods was the last NES game, released in 1994. The important data point for proving any of this is the year the last game for each console was released. If there are Just Dance titles after 2020, then I really don't think that these skipping the Wii U would harm anything. The criteria has two points: Released simultaneously on console x and console x+2. That's somewhat respectable, especially since there's evidence to suggest the Wii U version received only one print run. I can understand why 360 didn't get 2020 (had the absolute lowest sales on any Just Dance title in North America) and PS3 was losing traction for Just Dance even after 2016 but the Wii U version of 2019 still pushed out over 100,000 units when the console was already long since discontinued. The PS3 version of 2018 didn't break above 70,000. ![]() By comparison, 2019 has sold at least 100 thousand units in the Wii U. The PS3 versions have consistently been the lowest sellers across the board, prompting 2018 to be the very final Just Dance title on the system. Even a few spinoffs have sold somewhat higher on Wii U than the Wii. ![]() Contrary to the popular belief, the Wii U versions of Just Dance have always sold well and consistently above the PS4 and Xbox One versions since Just Dance 2014 and until 2018. This part however isn't the best point of contention. The other factor is that Ubisoft may have been concerned about the game's success from a sales standpoint. ![]() Nintendo was also no longer making these discs.

They may not have been simultaneously, but in the same year. You're right for the modern era, but Atari consoles were supported for a very long time.
