Yep because you have to take into account the fact that your heart rate is still racing while selecting a song AND the fact that the game has no clue about factors such as: using the bar or equivalent, your stepping technique (if you're heal toeing), if you're doing the cross overs, how high you actually jump for jumps (higher jump = more calories burned). Try doing only light mode songs or beginner mode songs, I bet that your calories burned by the equation I posted will be less than what DDR tells you. I know light mode used to break a sweat for me when I first started, now I can do light mode and almost fall asleep.

Oh and I can't be 100% sure of this, but I'm willing to wager that the game doesn't give higher calorie burns per step for doubles mode and there's no denying that doubles mode can be much more tiresome than singles.
