Just those two, eh? Tiger Woods comes out in August too, and Lego Batman in September, and GHIV in October.

I still expect Madden to go 360 unless "Madden Nation" switches to PS3... even then...

What? I don't even think the Wii sales of those games will pass the PS3 version let alone the 360 version.
