Yea madden's sales are wii are kind of crazy. It is to be expected that sales rise year over year though just like they have for the ps3 and 360.
lets take a look at the same week last year.
360 - 1.82 mil
ps3 - 655k
wii - 430k

this year
360 - 1.89 mil
ps3 - 1.27 mil
wii - 550k

so actually the ps3 version is the one doing far better. I don't know how to explain the increase for ps3, i mean 7.2 million userbase in NA 3.36 million last year at the same time. However 360 sold more than PS3 in that period and it barely had an increase, the wii had a massive increase in console sales that resulted in a marginal increase.

Madden 08 wii beat out the ps3 version but this year it looks impossible.

I think I can explain the PS3 version's increase. 2 things userbase is bigger, and Madden 2008 on the PS3 was crap. It was very buggy, word of mouth about that one was bad thus people generally stay away from it.

The point I am making about madden is the fact that other nintendo consoles could not sell madden at all, the Wii is a legitimate madden platform. No one ever thought the PS3 would not be.
