Forums - Sales Discussion - Madden '08 - Which platform do you think it will sell best on?

Madden '08 comes out on August 14 for virtually every platform on this planet. I personally dislike Madden games, as I do with most other mainstream games that EA releases, but I still think it's important to note which
console that this game sells best on.

The Wii should have a 10 million WW userbase by release, with about 4.0 million in America.
The PS3 should have a 4 million WW userbase by release, with about 1.8 million in America.
The 360 should have a 10.4 million WW userbase by release, with about 6.6 million in America.

With this knowledge, which of the new-gen consoles will see the best sales from this game. And for the big sales-buffs, possibly provide sales estimates. I haven't really paid attention to Madden trends in the past, so I don't want to provide my guess.

Nintendo has pretty much relied on first-party software sales since the days of the N64, but if games like this start selling well on the Wii, third-party focus could shift more towards Ninty.

Isnt it obvious? The 360 ofcourse and then maybe wii but I doubt it, afterwards the ps3 will have the less sales simply becuase of the 4million install base.

1.X360-250-350k
2.ps3-150-250k
3.wii-100-200k

It will sell best on 360 without a doubt. It won't even be close, perhaps somewhere inbetween 2.5/1 and 4/1 over the next best. The only userbase that matters is in the USA, and 360 will have a huge userbase advantage over wii and PS3, and I think 360 has a bit of a demographics advantage over PS3 for this game too. PS3 is gonna have better considerably better demographics for this game than the Wii, but the Wii will have a much larger userbase and the wii version has its own special features and this time around it will include online. Considering the Wii one nearly outsold the PS3 one (dont' have exact numbers, but i remember it being within 50k), and the userbase is now a huge advantage and this version is much better than the previous on Wii so i expect the Wii version to outsell the PS3 one.

I forgot, the PS2 version will outsell all of them.

PS2 2.5 million
360 2.3 million
Wii 750k
PS3 650k

those are my guesses

PS2>360>Wii>PS3

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

yea this isnt even an argument, absolutley the 360, I doubt the wii version will sell well unless its actually a good game, if it had great controls it will do ten times better than the PS3, but 360 without adoubt will be the winner.

PS2 > 360 > Wii > PS3. I think this is pretty obvious.

 Yeah, pretty much agree with that. 360 and PS3 core userbase will get the game within the first week. Wii and PS2 owners will get it as word gets out.
