Oh, so the Wii version use 1 controller per person!
I have just found a new video that again clearly shows it:

That's worse than I thought. How can the Wii version be considered an adequate dance game when it only tracks the movement of one hand?
That means you can do whatever the heck you like with both legs and one hand and as long as one hand is doing roughly the right thing it's ok. Ridiculously bad and not worth the money in my opinion.
I had originally thought they would make the effort to do it right. At least if each player had a controller in each hand then the Wii could track the movements of both hands, though you could still score perfect points while sitting down LOL! To do this properly the player would need one controller on each limb so that both arms and legs can be tracked (i.e. 4 controllers used by one player). this is a dance game after all, how can it score your dancing when it can only see one hand???
This could also mean my PS3 MOVE calculation is wrong, but we'll have to see how Ubisoft implement it on that platform.
Let's hope the PS3 version does better than the Wii. In theory the Playstation Eye camera can track legs, but to be honest it can't be very good for tracking movement otherwise Sony wouldn't have made MOVE use those funky glowing balls. My guess is it'll track both hands using controllers but will ignore the legs.
This is why I prefer the Kinect, even though I have never used one. It tracks the movements of the whole body by using over 40 points of articulation on the body. At least when I get a score, I will be scored on how those 40 points of my body move in relation to the dancer on the screen.
In comparison the Wii tracks the movement of 1 point on the body - the hand.
As for PS3 we'll have to see...
I've edited my post. thanks!
