Madden 08
XBOX 360 Sold 2.3 Million PS3 0.8 M + PS2 2.2 Mil = 3 Mill.
Between 08 and 09 it's apparent that some of the PS2 fanbase has move to the 360 and Wii ( i'm guessing more 360 than Wii) but a larger percentage of next gen adopters have stayed with the Playstation brand (not neccaserily exclusivley). Between 08 and 09 we see a shift of sales , the PS3 accounting for more overall sales than the last madden. It apears the success of the PS2 is both a saving graces for Sony ( in terms of profitability) and a limiting factor of the PS3 , the PS2 is just too good to die at this moment in time meaning that the adoption of the PS3 is slower than it otherwise would have been if the PS2 flopped following the releases of the PS3. |
It's quite apparent that more of the ps2 owners are going to the wii than the 360. If you're using madden sales as a comparison obviously it's going to be very biased toward the 360.
