Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Will Madden Ever Sell a Million on Wii?

Is it possible for a Madden game to sell a million on the Wii, or is the market for Madden really only on the PS360? This past year's edition really didn't do too well on Wii.



Bah!

If there is, EA's own actions aren't helping. I don't know what the hell they were thinking with 10...



Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.

The way the franchise is going I would say, no. Once upon a time (madden 09 I believe) I thought the wii madden was heading in the right direction but then EA decided to "improve" things. Wii maddens had always performed admirably until they made it all cartoony. don't get me wrong I've got nothing against cartoony, I loved tecmo bowl but when I buy madden I expect madden. I expect it to be "in the game", not sort of in the game. I'll have to see what happens this year cause I didn't really like the HD version of madden 10, they slowed the speed down too much for my liking.

No, Wii fans are eagerly waiting for Mario Football, they'll never be satisfied with inferior products!

:)P



According to VGC, Madden 08 was pretty much there.

Notice it started to die off when EA thought Wii gamers wanted non-realistic versions. All they had to do was supply the PS360 versions with lightly less detail + motion. meh. Instead Wii kept getting PS2 ports then watered down arcade fests.

The Mario Football comment was good!
Really though as long as EA treats the Wii version like a bald headed step child. No!
Wii owners want the same gameplay, modes, and a respectable art design.
Wii Madden is the equal to a PSN, or Xbox Live football. That's what EA said when they decided to make a game for them. Using the Wii Madden graphic style for a arcade game for them.
Treat Madden like you treat Wii Tiger Woods, and then you will have a chance.



 

Just because someone is saying something different. Doesn't mean their point of view is right!

This 100%.



Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:


If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.

If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.

With stuff like this...

 

Good luck....



 

@Palancas: LoL. Is EA really going that route again with 2011's Wii Madden?

I was wondering the same thing...are they keeping the same art style for this year's edition?



Bah!
