Well, i think if a Singstar Michael Jackson was realesed right now it could be one of the highest selling games of PS3.

20 million? As big as Wii Fit? Please. By the time this game releases, the influence of Michael's unfortunate passing will close to nonexistent.

And look at which systems it is selling on. Getting 360 owners to buy a Michael Jackson game is like trying to convince your mother to buy you porn as a 12-year-old- not gonna happen. I see .12m tops on that system.

PS3 owners are more forgiving, maybe .26m or something. Plus I see an unusual amount of Sony fans with MJ avatars and such.

Wii owners are mostly casual, so that means it has many people who unfortunately believe all the garbage spewed about MJ's personal life and the insistence that he is a sick person, even though barely anyone knew him personally. I'm guessing slightly less than PS3- .21m

Overall, I think that is .59m all around? Whatever the amount, it won't make it past 1m. I'm pretty confident in that.


Your forgetting who this game is about. So not as many 360 owners will buy the game. Another thing, his death was as big Elvis. Its been two weeks since he has passed and his CD sales are way up! The fact that the most famous man in the world is releasing another game, everyone will buy it because its MJ! If his CDs could sell 2.6 million copies in one week, I'm pretty sure this game could sell a lot not only first week but lifetime. Come on, you're saying this game won't hit a million. I highly doubt it. Once they make the official announcement about the game, people all around the world will buy this game.

At first, I wasn't seeing the dots in front of your numbers. I thought you had gone insane!

People have to understand that MJ is more bigger now than when he was alive. This is the reason why this game will be a huge commercial success.

You're right when you're talking about NOW, now but come Christmas time it will be a whole different story. Unless they somehow drag out the story of his autopsy for 5 months which I seriously doubt.
