SINGSTAR
The reason the PS2 is the best-selling console of all time is because it sold extraordinarily well in Europe. And a big part of that was down to the Singstar series. Americans may scoff, but Singstar did for the PS2 in Europe what the Wii later did everywhere else: convince millions of people with zero interest in fighting, driving or role-playing to go out and buy a home video game console.
It’s such a simple game—sing into a microphone—but it was executed so well and with such style that even the most grizzled party pooper found it hard to resist a turn on the mic.
