Over 2 Million Michael Jackson Games shifted

All we seem to hear about lately is based around doom and gloom and the fact that everything is on a downward slope to nowheresville. It's probably a bit of a surprise then that Ubisoft is claiming that the Michael Jackson The Experience has sold through two million units to date.

The latest sales figures do not include Japan, which has one of the largest and most passionate concentrations of Michael Jackson fans anywhere. The game is scheduled to come out in Japan later this year.

Launched at the end of November, Michael Jackson The Experience allows players to experience the magic of the King of Pop by performing dance moves inspired by his choreography, while listening to and singing along with the music that continues to excite and move people today.

"Michael Jackson The Experience is a worldwide hit and offers fans the game they have been waiting for," said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer of Ubisoft. "As the leader in the dance game genre, our teams have worked enthusiastically to build an experience that recreates the magic worlds of Michael Jackson's videos and performances. We're looking forward to bringing Michael Jackson The Experience to Kinect and Move so an even bigger audience can enjoy playing the game with their friends and family too."

"We are extremely thrilled with how people around the world are embracing and enjoying Michael Jackson The Experience," said John Branca and John McClain, the executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson. "The passion they are showing for learning and performing Michael's signature dance moves to the songs they have loved for years is a tribute to his amazing legacy. Families are sharing an entertainment experience that is fun, unique and energizing.".
