There is a difference between doing something first and doing something well. As a huge DDR and beatmania fan, my deepest music/rhythm game loyalties lie with Konami, but I have no ill will against Activision.

Beatmania is dead. At least in North America it is. It had one North American release for the PS2, and then it died. Konami just failed to find a way to make it commercially viable in the states.

So it's not like Activision is stepping on Bemani's toes by offering an updated take on an old genre. Becuase Bemani has no toes in the US. Their toes are far far away from our shores, and I for one don't enjoy having to import their toes from Japan just to get some new content. Instead of raging at Activision for being commercially viable, why not just be happy that they've found a way to make the genre profitable? It's not like they're hurting anyone.
