I think PS3 may sell more and the Wii's box art seems to be a turnoff for some people...

What? They're both Brett Favre. Its not like the NCAA game with the Spartan mascot on it. Besides, all versions are innacurate. He's a Jet now.

I disagree about the PS3 version having a chance to end up selling second highest numbers. In order to do that, it would need to outsell the 360 version and that's not going to happen. But the Wii version will end up being the best selling Madden 09.

Khem? No.

 



@Polezo: No i'm not. I have faith in All Play, Call Your Shots and Peter Moore.

Did Madden 07 or 08 on the Wii and/or the PS3 have legs? If yes, I could see Madden 09 Wii beating out the PS3 version but otherwise....I'm not sure. It'll be close.

 

 Yeah the Wii version sold something like 7k units last week, despite the immenant arrive of '09.   Sells very consistantly all year long but lacks the massive first week sales of HD consoles.

Can't see it.  Madden fans are a seperate breed from regular gamers (although there's a lot of cross-over)  most established Madden fans want the game they grew up with in HD.   All Play may well bring in all new football fans to the game but not enough to out-muscle the core Madden crowd on 360.  At least, not yet.

What about the PS3 version? If legs continue like this then I see it passing the PS3 version easy then as long as the PS3 versions dropped hheavily and weren't heard of soon after the first week.

Like I said in the OP, the PS3's legs were not nearly as strong.  First week sales accounted for 29.5% of its total sales, which is quite a chunk. 

This is quite typical tho, the Wii and its legs are the really surprising part.  The Wii is changing expectations about console game sales the same way the DS did for handhelds.

 



@Gamerace: I'm counting on the new audience as well as multiconsole Madden fans, to try out the new Call Your Shots feature.

360 > PS3 > Wii

 

That's the order I'm expecting.
