Um, you realize how insane you sound, right? You know that re-issues are done all of the time, right? The idea that future re-issues can't be done because they only sold hundreds of thousands of copies is laughable at best, right?
I never said future reissues can't be done.
Most reissues comprise of nothing more than new packaging. Occasionally you'll come across some that may include some level of bonus features, such as some demos or bonus audio of some sort, but that's where it more often than not ends.
But to do another like Bad25, with four discs, various "special edition" packages, and TONS of merchandise?
That can't happen unless there's massive demand for it on a worldwide scale. That's hundreds of thousands of dollars poured into a project and not nearly enough money received to break even.
Look at the Off the Wall reissue. Other than the Spike Lee documentary and the new packaging, we got nothing. As useless of a product as it is, it was ultimately a smart move. If it failed (which I believe it did), not much money would be lost.
I imagine the same would be done if Dangerous25 ever happened. No concert DVD/Blu-Ray, no big packaging effort. Just the original album plus a second disc with demos and some new tunes.
And simply, it's laughable to expect something of Bad25 proportions with every project. Especially for an album that, while excellent, does not have half the cultural or public appreciation that its predecessors have (and those very same predecessors also failed commercially in terms of how much money was certainly poured into creating them).
