GI.Biz Interview: SingStar The Business

Tomorrow SingStar celebrates its fifth birthday, and to mark the occasion GamesIndustry.biz sat down for a chat with three of the people that have helped make it all happen - Mike Haigh, now development director at Sony London Studio, Kevin Mason, principle designer on SingStar, and Dave Ranyard, executive producer.

Following an exploration of the franchise's roots in part one, here in part two they investigate the business side of the game's background, and in particular how the team's contacts enabled the title to be bundled with microphones at no extra cost to the consumer.
