Gaming Age writes: "Chances are if you're a karaoke fan and own a PS2 you've played at least one of the games from the Singstar collection. A huge hit in Europe, this franchise keeps on trucking with new installments, each with a compilation of 30 songs. If you've mastered the Amped, Pop, '80s, and Rock versions, you may be wondering if the '90s version offers anything new. Read on to find out.
Like its predecessors, Singstar '90s is available by itself for $30 or with 2 microphones for $50. It contains 30 new songs, accompanied by their respective music videos. The game is more than standard karaoke since it awards more points when the player correctly matches the pitch of the song and lyrics. Up to two players can sing at the same time, either head-to-head or in duets. If you have an Eye Toy camera you can also save videos or snapshots for others to view later."

What a spectacular achievement, especially since you guys have only released 27 titles in 5 years.
Wow what a fanboyish comment go take them somewhere else please. This is great news for them and shows its a popular franchise.
HOLY CRAP!that's a lot!
Also R&C surpassed 25 million few weeks ago
GT is at around 53 million
I think Buzz! is also pretty big
nice to see Sony got some big franchise,they are really important
It's weird, you don't think much of these franchises, see nothing about their sales, and yet...
I remember playing it in Best Buy and I thought it was a very good game. Unfortunately, people in my house don't like to sing openly...no matter what so there was no need to buy it.
yeah two black dudes singing a Britney spears song will not work
411mania talks about this week's game releases. Highlights include MagnaCarta II, Tales of VS., SingStar Queen, and Hearts of Iron III.
On Magna Carta II, 411mania writes: "Even though the title indicates that this is the second MagnaCarta game, it is actually the third in the series, the first being for the PC and the second for the PS2. Unfortunately, Atlus' release of the PS2 sequel a few years ago wasn't very well received - some were impressed with the visuals and a lot of people liked the story, but many found the combat system off and most agreed that the voicework was bad. Luckily, MagnaCarta II features a whole new cast of characters, a new storyline, and a different fighting system, so knowledge of the previous games are not necessary."
Aww it's just the import version of Magna Carta II I thought they would have brought it out here already :(.
GamesRadar writes: "There's an overwhelming number of user videos on SingStar's SingStore and trying to watch them all would be stupidly impractical. So it kind of makes sense that, when browsing the karaoke clips, most people head stright for the videos that have earned top billing with a five-star rating."
