SingStar series sells 12 million units in PAL territories

This game looks lame as hell. No wonder those froggy bastards like it.

Why? Its just repackaged Karaoke Revolution (which itself is a pile of crap)

Pah, good for them (the devs)

I have a bucketload of friends who aren't interested in games but'll happily play SingStar or Wii Sports, and I guess it's kudos to the people who came up with the idea in the first place. I admit, it does seem a very European game...not seen much positivity from mah NTSC homedogs (that's what you people are called, right?)

I know I've got at least two SS games somewhere in my loft.

This picture is admittedly better than the one with that douchy emo wannabe guy on the cover.

They've released about 12 different versions of the game in PAL territories so I'm surprised they haven't sold more.

Wow....what a bunch of negative comments....Mommy didn't give you money for COD Map Packs so you come here and whine?

The premise...before you diss the game is whether you like Karaoke or not. If you don't then you won't like the game...that doesn't mean the game is 'lame' or sucks.

This is the best console Karaoke experience out there and its a good thing for PS3 to broaden its appeal.

BTW..the 'douche' WILL be on the cover of the SINGSTAR launched here as the woman is from the 2nd disc getting released soon in PAL territories.

Where does the negativity surrounding this series come from? It sells well in Europe because it's a very good casual title with a broad appeal. What's so bad about that?

I'd rather sing then play Halo, at least it would keep me awake ¬_¬

Saying that, I haven't got this game, nor do I intend to buy, but good for the devs I guess.

Everyone who hates games which they never played should go have a cockmeat sandwich.

Well, my interest in the series has been piqued for quite a while but I was going to wait for the PS3 version. That way I can buy the songs ala carte, getting what I want instead of buying a mix where I only like, at most, half the songs.

12 million copies of a franchise for a series with approximately 6 million different versions? That's like 5 different copies per version or some other maths thing.

Seriously though, Singstar is fucking brilliant. The very mention of me threatening to buy it on the PS3 had legions of females at my feet, no small feat (LOL U C WuT 1 Did Th4r1!!!) considering I can best be described as an "ugly bastard" (1).

Really 4 Realz and all serious dough, Nintendo gets a hell of a lot of credit for 'appealing to he masses' and 'broadening the market' via its 'casual' friendly titles. In reality Sony was doing this for a long time via not only Singstar but also its 'Buzz' titles in Europe (I believe our good friends in the US of A didn't receive these titles at the same time) and as far as I'm concerned more power to Sony and these 'casual' players. The more non gamers that have some fun with a console while playing Singstar the more of those are likely to at some point appreciate Shadow of the Colossus.

But for Super Cerealz, a great performance in Singstar is a good way to get a blowjob
