And there it is. Quite possible that Xb one actually got more copies of Madden into houses, but as NPD doesn't count official bundles Sony gets to use Madden as a PR win instead of MS. Though perhaps if Madden sold more on Xb one when counting the bundle MS could come out with PR along those lines. But in this situations it's a case of early bird gets the worm rather than second mouse gets the cheese.

Wasnt there a promotion where you could get Madden for free with the purchase of a PS4? Im pretty sure I saw that somewhere.

Yes, but the point is all those giveaways for the PS4 are counted by NPD, whereas the official Xb one Madden bundle is not counted except for hardware purchases. So whoever gets the actual software sales figures are getting 100% data for PS4 but <100% data for Xb one. So we actually don't know which console has the bigger Madden distribution.
