I'd say being 'fast' isn't worth very much for game titles. Software sales don't generally gather momentum like hardware sales do, so I don't think it makes a difference whether a game is sold first month or tenth month.

Not to suggest that Halo 3's launch wasn't bloody impressive.

Madden sells more every year and is essentially the same game. That's the only interesting thing to me here.
