Tiger Woods PGA has never been a uber seller -- no sports game except Madden really is.
Only four editions -- PS2 04 and 05 and Wii 08 and 09 -- have sold more than 1M on a given console.
This year's sales are at historic lows for the Xbox 360 and Wii and at on par with early year releases on the PS3 (which has the only new thing to offer in Move support).
Tiger not having a good year as a golfer or as an individual is a bigger drag on the sales than anyone at EA will admit.
And as for the Wii, owners tend not to buy annual sports sequels ... but the drop-off this year appears to speak to other factors.

I am Mario. I like to jump around, and would lead a fairly serene and aimless existence if it weren't for my friends always getting into trouble. I love to help out, even when it puts me at risk. I seem to make friends with people who just can't stay out of trouble. Wii Friend Code: 1624 6601 1126 1492 NNID: Mike_INTV |
