Other music games set up their DLC which is more pleasing to UMG (the setup) and there's no uploading to license for (making it slightly easier). With other artists, EMI Group is very happy to have their music as DLC, which explains why the SingStore usually gets pretty good stuff by them. The reason some artists just aren't on the SingStore (even if they aren't UMG), probably has to do with pricing structure. What helps RB and GH is the massive userbase and pricing is higher. Lips is helped by having variable pricing. We'd probably see some better Sony BMG and Warner artists if there was a higher pricing structure also (like maybe newer P!NK, Avril Lavigne, etc. SCEE London also has to split it between PS2 and PS3 (not everyone can afford a PS3 right now since it's still pricey). They still have to make PS2 discs instead of just working on DLC (and I believe the majoirty of SingStar fans are still sticking to PS2). On the PS3 side of things, discs are still needed because (not everyone has internet connection on their PS3, and some who have internet don't have a method they can put money into their PSN wallet. There are no PSN Cards throughout Europe). Some big songs without a doubt will be saved for discs, just so they can push the disc sales to bring people onto SingStar (most people look at the back, and see if there's a song they want. The fixed pricing is probably hurting it with more popular pop artist (mostly UMG, it supported other services like Amazon so they could get what they wanted and hopefully made Apple change).ĭLC will NOT convince most common people who mostly buy games who look at the backs of cases).īasically in many ways, the SingStore is like the iTunes store. The only reason many still supported iTunes was because they basically had to. For the SingStore, UMG doesn't really have to because they are receiving funding from other music games and so on. In reality, we do not know the real cause behind the reason UMG has ZERO songs on the SingStore (it could even be that a rival console company is paying them to not support the SingStore), but I do believe it has to do with they want to control it in their favor and want the variable pricing.Ĭlick to expand.The quote is stuff I basically posted around various forums (slightly altered since I don't want to do much comparison to another Karaoke game). I remember an interview with some chinese /japenese guy when singstar vol1 came out.
