Konami was the king of dance games for a long time, and then Ubisoft came in and took the industry by storm with Just Dance. How did Konami miss out on a golden opportunity like this?

“We had no idea to develop a dance game without the mat." - Kunio Neo

“Our dancing games didn’t take off in all European countries at the same time. They were very successful for a certain period in the UK, then they became successful in Germany and then France. So the developers started to lose interest, and thought the time of dancing games might be over. In hindsight you are always smarter.” - Martin Schneider
