European gamers that feel naked without a mic in their hand can use the other to pat themselves on the back, as Sony just dropped word that its SingStar franchise has sold through 12 million copies in the PAL region, with some 5 million of these going out the door between last April and March 2008.
In addition, with the SingStore finally gaining traction, Sony also announced that PAL gamers have downloaded a million tracks in the four months since the store opened. Also impressive is that the store’s 140,000 registered users, together with members of the game’s official website, have recorded and shared 20,000 videos of players belting out tunes from the comfort of their living rooms — public embarrassment that has been watched some 2.5 million times.
The SingStar series first got players in Europe singing off-tune renditions of “Careless Whisper” and “Like a Virgin” in 2004, and has since spawned numerous sequels, including last December’s SingStar for the PlayStation 3 and the soon-to-be released Volume 2. Now, with SingStar for the PS3 finally getting a release in North America on Might 20, it will be interesting to see how enthusiasm on this side of the Atlantic for the game measures up.
