Forums - Sales Discussion - Madden 15 launches and... Oh Good Lord...

So Madden NFL 15 sales have just been revealded. Both Xbox One Version and PS4 version are outselling the PS3 and X360 by a large number. Also, the Xbox One is about 30,000-40,000 more units sold ahead then last week. Good news right? Well, it makes me facepalm.

I hate it when games like this on platforms that people still on just aren't good enough, and they "have" to buy the next-gen version just because they want to have it next gen, and they are willing to be a whole new console for it, when both versions are the exact same game! Ridiculous...

"People waited to buy a new console with new games coming this year, next year, and the years after that, but I'm sure they only did it for ONE game, ugh, *facepalm*"



Just because you have an opinion doesn't mean you are necessarily right.

I don't get it. Why would they NOT buy a new console for this game? They're probably going to buy the next Madden games too and in like 2 years there will be a significant difference between this gen's version and the last gen's one, so why not buy the new console now? Oh, and why are some people still talking about this 'next-gen'? Isn't it the current gen now?

Because in two years the consoles will be #1 cheaper #2 less guinea-pig-style since they will probably have a redesign #3 the games will have a significant difference as you said.  BONUS: Madden FIfa etc is all a patch for the prior version. Even 60 bucks it to much of a simple patch and then adding 400 bucks on top is way way to much for a patch.

Alot of people always whine about how they have not enough money and then they do stuff like this or buying a 2012tech Iphon6 in 2014. etc

I agree NEW GEN or CURRENT GEN.  Next Gen is PS5 XBOX THREESIXTRY (three sixty  because it was Xbox1 Xbox360 XBOX ONE so the next one will be XBOX THREESIXTY



well since the majority buys them for the new platforms, it only makes sense to buy it on those as well.
There are more players and EA will probably kill the servers later than on the last gen systems, plus nicer graphics etc.

So you're complaining that people bought an 8th gen console for a multigen game? You are aware that this happens at the beginning of every gen, and really needs to for the gen to keep moving forward, right? I mean, without early adopters and people who are willing to spend the money now, why would devs and publishers even bother to continue supporting new consoles? I swear, I'll never understand why this is such a hard concept to understand. If you don't want to be an early adopter, that's fine, but don't act like someone is somehow dumb because they did.

Well, I don't think they care too much about a redesign. The yearly patch as you put it is mostly true, but, proven by the sales of the games, a lot of people who play EA Sports just don't care to pay 60 bucks. The 400 bucks on top is the investment for the future sports games, because there will be a point where the previous gen won't be supported properly anymore. And even if the consoles get cheaper, they can't get themselves to care enough, appearantly.



You whine because people are buying new consoles and new games which supports the industry? You whine because people spend their money the way they want?

*Facepalm*



iPhone = Great gaming device. Don't agree? Who cares, because you're wrong.

Currently playing:

Final Fantasy VI (iOS), Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (iOS) & Dragon Quest V (iOS)     

    

Got a retro room? Post it here!

Are you complaining about next gen install bases increasing?



Because people only buy next gen consoles for one game and there is literally no difference between last and current gen graphics.
