Forums - Sales - Madden 15 tomorrow, 1m for both the Xbox One and PS4 come NPD?

Welfare on 26 August 2014

Madden sales split might be close, but with PS4 still in the lead. Because of the Madden Bundle, I think the ratio will be 1.2:1 in favor of the PS4, and Madden is usually more popular on Xbox than PS4.



Won bet with t3mporary_126 - I correctly predicted that the Wii U's LTD at the end of 2014 would be closer to 9 million than 10 million. http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=6673287

Should sell very well. I think the Xbox One sales will be lower because more people will buy it digitally with their EA access discount.


+ bundles sales, which wont be tracked by npd

 

so ps4>xb1 in the npd statement.

but xb1 overall will be > ps4 by a low margin

Why wouldn't bundle sales be tracked? They usually are right? The Titanfall bundle was tracked wasn't it?


no. gfk tackes bundles. npd doesnt

but we will probably get the bundle numbers form the leakers

 

just look at march npd.

909k titanfall retail sku only but ~1.1m overall sales (not sure if this are the correct numbers i remember)

Madden on 360 sold more than it did on PS3 because the gap was large in MS's favor in the last gen. I expect the sales this gen to show favor towards PS4 due to the change in circumstances this gen.

That's not the only reason. Microsoft has a big marketing deal with the NFL and now with deals with EA as well they are sure going to market the Xbox One version a lot more than the PS4 version. I think it will still sell more overall on Xbox.

Agreed, also going with what some people have said already, it's primarily a US game. The 360 outsold the PS3 in NA and the margin is closer for this gen, although PS4 is still higher

I got the PS4 version. WOOOO!



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.

Madden feels like the ultimate in treating a customer like a revenue stream to me,. Its almost like the chiropractor telling you that you HAVE to keep coming back every week for years or else.... while he thinks about the revenue and not your benefit.

I haven't even thought of that! I wonder how substantial EA Access' impact on VGC sales numbers will be - they'll no doubt artificially reduce the Xbox One's sales.

I'm not an expert in American Football but the new Madden doesn't look like a major leap from PS3/360 versions. FIFA is getting a lot more love.
