Is DDR losing or going to lose it's popularity?

[Da-Risin-Smoke]

Well, is it??

The ppl in my area, some say they'll quit, or losing interest.
They wanna try ITG.

What if, someday, no one will play it?

It'll be a cold day when we see it.

Especially in your area, because no one will want to watch or do versus with ya.

I haven't seen the popularity of DDR dwindle in our area for a couple of months. I expect the machine to be rather busy this summer, anyway -- people have summer jobs and all, as well as free time to play.

I think I'm the only person in our town who plays PPP, though. I feel weird having high scores on a machine.

I'm sure DDR would be more popular if there was a new mix or something. Alot of people in our town dont play DDR anymore. We have 3 extremes and a ITG machine. Once we upgraded to ITG the DRR community was pretty much dead.

What hell is wrong with you!! First of all the popularity of both DDR and ITG are eventually going to wane at one point or another, but isn't going to be for a while now. Second if there is one thing downhill real fast it's PIU. Beatmania I don't really know about cause I never played it. Same goes for Pop n' Music. If they make a new arcade mix on DDR and ITG then the popularity of both would skyrocket.

[Alezay]

Same around here. Once we got ITG everyone migrated. The DDR Extreme machine hasn't had business in a long while. Maybe every now and then I'll play DDR but it's boring because it's too easy...

IIDX is the new thing, well not really, but people are starting to realize how awesome it is. it would catch on much faster if the things werent so expensive ($9 K +)

[Reenee]

COMING SOON TO THE U.S.:
DDR EXTREME 2
DDR ULTRAMIX 3
beatmania

COMING SOON TO EUROPE:

beatmania

COMING SOON TO JAPAN:
(Untitled DDR game made out of high demand for one)

5 DDR games plus 2 new Bemani.

Do you think it's losing interest if it's enough to BRING NEW BEMANI OVER?

[Dj Sway]

DDR will die when people stop playing, simple as that.

I still play, and I plan on playing for a long time (even though I prefer ITG now). As long as there are machines, and arcades are still around, it won't die.

Nah. With the lawsuit against the makers of ITG, Konami is feeling the heat of competition and will most likely come out with a new arcade mix in the next few years or so, probably this/next year. Extreme 2 on arcade? Maybe.

Max.(period)? Oh yeah Hopefully.

Don't worry about popularity fading.
