Michael Jackson game hits 2m

Having enjoyed a very strong Christmas, Ubisoft’s Michael Jackson: The Experience has now sold over 2m units across Europe, North America, Asia and the Middle East.

There’s more to come from the game too, with a Japanese release incoming and an April release for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions of the game in Europe and America – which will support Kinect and Move respectively and feature extra tracks.

"Michael Jackson The Experience is a worldwide hit and offers fans the game they have been waiting for,” Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated.

"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 for Xbox 360 and PlayStation Move so an even bigger audience can enjoy playing the game with their friends and family too.”
