Motion sensing could very well be the next big thing – take a look at how the Nintendo Wii did gangbusters sales figures since its release, although time has certainly caught up with its lack of hardware power, and sales figures have started to taper off worldwide for quite some time now. With the introduction of PlayStation Move for the Sony PS3 and Kinect for the Xbox 360, you can be sure that motion sensing games are here to stay – for how long, we’re not quite sure, but it surely ain’t just waggle controls any more as more and more developers jump aboard the bandwagon.

This one-of-a-kind exercise program pairs Latin rhythms with red-hot international dance steps so you can have a blast as you party your way into shape. In Zumba Fitness, players can learn and perfect nine different dance styles: Reggaeton, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Hip-Hop, Mambo, Rumba, Flamenco and Calypso. The game features 30 different infectious music tracks and routines — some exclusive to the game — led by Zumba creator Beto and celebrity instructors Gina Grant and Tanya Beardsley. No matter what your skill level, Zumba Fitness is accessible to all with Learn the Steps training, plus Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced routines in five dynamic venues. As you hit each move in rhythm with your on-screen Zumba instructor, the stage transforms into a high voltage party atmosphere with special effects and additional crowd dancers. Players can also grow that party at home with up to four players on Wii and PlayStation Move, and up to two players on Kinect for Xbox 360. Developed by Pipeworks Software, Zumba Fitness for Wii, Playstation Move and Kinect is expected to release this holiday.

No idea on pricing, but this holiday ought to be a really interesting one. We would think that the pricing structure will adhere to what we are used to all this while.
