lol@ rock_on - you kiwi, Fatal Frame 4 hasnt even released in most territories yet. Its strongest market is the US.

psrock - considering that the madden wii has sold better than its past iterations, its actually doing better than EA expected

considering 13mil people own a wii in the US, 100k for Madden in its first week is total failure. Espacially when people expected it to outsell the 5mil userbase PS3.

 

That's a pretty incorrect pretense. No developer expects to hit 50% attatchment, on any platform. Its a huge success if it does. So half of 13 mil is 6.5 mil. Most developers are very happy with a 25% attachment, which would be 3.25 mil US lifetime sales. As the Wii version of Madden has the strongest legs/smallest dropoff thus far, it may very well carry through and past the holiday season and make that mark. I don't know what "people" you are referring to, but EA never expected/expects Madden Wii to pass a mil.

 

Godot - Ah dammit. I didn't notice that. Kurakasa's the abortion poster boy. LOL
