This is confirmed?

If so it is really stupid for Sony to make this exclusive. The routinely put their movie franchises on other consoles and MJ has way too much of a mass market appeal to force it on the PS3.

Seriously will limit its potential.

Should nintendo make mario-games multiplatform too? Keeping them exclusive limit their potential!

You're completely missing my point and obviously didn't read the rest of my posts.

Its not about making a SingStar game for other companies. i.e. similar to Mario.

Its about taking a movie/music IP that Sony owns and not using it in a way that maximizes the company's (aka Sony) profits from that IP. MJ is not a gaming IP, he's an music IP and similar to Sony's Movie IPs they should lease it out and make far more from royalties accross all platforms.

Now, if their long-term goal is to make money from SingStar first, then allow others, i.e. rockband, GH, etc, make their own games months later, then that would be a good way to do it as well.

I don't see any difference. Nintendo could make more money by royalties if they allowed other companies use mario in their games.
