Interesting, Just Dance - a western dance game, is doing well in Japan. In fact, it had a FAR better launch there than here. I wonder if it will explode the same way in popularity?

@ kingofwale the only kid I know with a 3DS was playing Mario Kart DS last time I saw him. So there might be something to it.
