Forums - Nintendo - Madden's Sales On Wii Continue to Improve

Each year Madden's sales on the Wii have grown. I would even go as far to call them respectable, that is something the last few Nintendo System's could not say.

Note- the reason Madden 2007 tracked so weird is because it did not have the usual august launch, it came out with the Wii in November therefore did not have the traditional Madden double bump. (look at most maddens, they have it)



End of 2009 Predictions (Set, January 1st 2009)

Wii- 72 million   3rd Year Peak, better slate of releases

360- 37 million   Should trend down slightly after 3rd year peak

PS3- 29 million  Sales should pick up next year, 3rd year peak and price cut

And couldn't I say the same for the PS3 and 360. I'm sure everyone would hope that a casual franchise like Madden would increase in sales every year on the most popular console in history.

Yea madden's sales are wii are kind of crazy. It is to be expected that sales rise year over year though just like they have for the ps3 and 360.
lets take a look at the same week last year.
360 - 1.82 mil
ps3 - 655k
wii - 430k

this year
360 - 1.89 mil
ps3 - 1.27 mil
wii - 550k

so actually the ps3 version is the one doing far better. I don't know how to explain the increase for ps3, i mean 7.2 million userbase in NA 3.36 million last year at the same time. However 360 sold more than PS3 in that period and it barely had an increase, the wii had a massive increase in console sales that resulted in a marginal increase.

Madden 08 wii beat out the ps3 version but this year it looks impossible.



currently playing: Skyward Sword, Mario Sunshine, Xenoblade Chronicles X

Well Mario & Sonic Olympics worked so well, maybe EA should ask Nintendo for a Mario & Madden NFL 2010. 

Have an arcadey "Mario mode w/big head NFL players + Miis and Mario characters. They sorta did this with the SSX and NBA Street titles on the GameCube (added Mario characters) but it wasn't really marketed or pushed too heavily. 

If you name the game "Mario & Madden NFL" straight up, obviously that will draw more people in. Have TV commercials with NFL players trying to tackle Mario. 

1.5-2 mill easy in North America.

I think I can explain the PS3 version's increase. 2 things userbase is bigger, and Madden 2008 on the PS3 was crap. It was very buggy, word of mouth about that one was bad thus people generally stay away from it.

The point I am making about madden is the fact that other nintendo consoles could not sell madden at all, the Wii is a legitimate madden platform. No one ever thought the PS3 would not be.

Well, I'm not sure if the comparision is too valid being that since Madden as been coming year after year, the Nintendo console wasn't popular.

I'd love to see Madden done in a first person perspective where you have to aim a cursur at the reciver you want to through it to, etc.
