So how come Madden 07/08 sold better in comparison to PS3 versions instead? I doubt interest dropped especially with many more users. With 09, it was PS3 > Wii and Wii had the All Play box.

 

07, 08, 09 are selling about the same on the Wii, it's just that on the PS3 as the userbase grows more people will buy those games.

 

                         madden 08                           madden 2007                                madden 2009

wii:                          .93m                               .56m                                              .78m

ps3:                         .92m                              .48m                                             1.58m

 

 

 

There was also more marketing for Madden on the PS3 and 360 plus they both had collectors editions and all the ads made a huge deal out of the new mechanics of the game learning how you play, and EA didn't say anything about the Wii version, I had to wait till it was already out to see the make your own route function worked on Wii.  Bottom line is if you don't market towards your audience you don't get sales and Madden 09 was a prime example.

I expect EA to market 2010 version as they want to really show they can succeed on the Wii, i Don't expect anymore than the 2008 sales number.

 

 

Unless they make it good IE like Tiger Woods I wouldn't expect it to sell more then a million, when it comes to Sports games and Wii it seems it's either good or nothing.
