Re: EA Sports MVP Baseball Series to Make a Return?

NHL 11 sold over 1 million copies between the 360 and PS3. I'm not sure the Show and MLB 2K will be able to say that this year.

Just looking at 10 week sales figures from VG Chartz, MLB 2K9 sold 335,000 on the 360 and 2K11 did only 155,000. Show 09 on PS3 did 378,000 in its first 10 weeks while Show 11 only did 260,000 (note MLB 2K11 on PS3 has only done 90,000 to date!) And this is despite more hardware being out on the market. Not a good trend.
I believe this is because many people have given up on mlb2k. Too many years of bad 2k baseball. The show selling less maybe because some feel the game has gotten a bit stale. That's my opinion..
