The announcement of a Wii version of Just Dance 2020 was met with confusion from some fans as to why an eighth generation game would be released on a discontinued console, speculating that it was because hospitals and rehabilitation centers still used the Wii for physical therapy and recreation, with Just Dance being a popular series for those purposes. However, Ubisoft released an official statement in response to the speculation that claimed that "it would be inaccurate to say that Just Dance is available on the Wii solely because it’s developed for physical therapy purposes" and that "a lot of our players are children and families who continue to play on Wii."
