Hmm... well, I agree with TruckOSaurus, by then it'll be too late. Those wanting to unload a copy of Moonwalker for the Genesis have a golden opportunity right now, with copies going for about $60 average on eBay. The used game store I was in earlier today said they sold their copy yesterday for $100.

But sales, since that's what this site is about. Across all 3 platforms, sales will be about 1 million total. However, release from announcement of this short a window (

The best Michael Jackson game ever was Moonwalker on the Sega Megadrive/Genesis.

The game is a cross between SingStar and RapeLay.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

It'll do decently, but it won't be a blockbuster. The public attention span is notoriously short, and Holiday 2009 will be too late to catch the new MJ-craze at its peak. They might get a bit of a boost, though.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
