I mean, this sounds good but then you'd have a bunch of whiny fans b***hing about the longer gap between new games.

On another note I think Ubisoft is stretching Just Dance so hard to meet core demographics and the result is not working out too well. On one extreme you have the 7th-gen console owners. Typically these people don't have an 8th-gen console because they're not hardcore gamers or they can't afford the new console (or won't use it enough to justify the expense). Or they could be in an area that just doesn't support the new console's online services. Whatever the reason for not having an eighth-gen console these people still are abundant enough for Ubisoft to justify putting a dumbed-down version of the game on 7th-gen. However, the 7th-gen version lacks all the fancy features and extra stuff so some start watching the gameplays on YouTube instead of buying the game and that creates a whole new set of problems.

On the other end of the spectrum are the professional video game critics that expect Ubisoft to put out a fresh new game concept or something each year instead of a "glorified track pack." So Ubisoft makes the 8th-gen version look really cool. The 8th-gen version is literally all they advertise which results in disappointed misinformed 7th-gen customers. It also sucks if you have poor internet connected to your fancy 8th-gen console.

Basically what I'm saying is us average fans get stuck in the middle. Ubisoft spends a lot of their money on cool songs and 8th-gen graphics and advertising, that quality of some choreos and features pay for it. And those are the things that matter to us.

And don't get me started on JDN. With the amount of microtransactions it has now, you'd think it was made by EA. Seriously, just start running ads again instead of making us pay for literally everything.

Sorry this was so long, it sounded shorter in my head. Please don't reply with "Wow this is so long" or "You really expect me to read all that" or something like that. If that's all you have to say, don't bother replying please.
