Why get 10% when you can get 30% plus they're physical copies and therefore have trade in value. 

I'm' not disagreeing with you just pointing that out. Madden sold like above 750k in Sep and around 900k ins Aug. That's a large amount of people getting the game later.

Nice analysis.  So it seems a huge portion of the market are aware of price drops soon after launch and wait.  It's not a good thing for the publisher that and I feel EA will suffer from this more and more going forward.

 

 It's a bit like Microsoft and the xbox. A huge portion of consumers just wait for 1 of the many insane deals they offer during the year to clear stock / boost sales.
