Madden #2 Top Selling Game in 2014 Even Without Some Penalties Called

[Sausage]

Our voices are drowned out by the masses who prefer Maddenball not NFL football. They don't want penalties, fumbles, blocked/muffed kicks, weather effects, better A.I., defense, or organic gameplay, etc.

Call of Duty Advanced Warfare = 17.59 Million sales worldwide / 8.29 Million in North America

Madden NFL 15 = 5.43 Million sales worldwide / 4.73 Million sales in North America

I think the numbers for Madden would be better on XBOX 360 and PS3 this year if they hadn't just totally aborted effort for those versions of the game.

Well, yeah, that's why I mentioned US only because I'm sure FIFA would have more WW vs Madden

Wasn't saying anything against that, just wanted to make sure people could see the difference between 1 and 2. Surprisingly, COD AW has currently outsold FIFA 15.

About 5- 5.5 million has been maddens sales numbers throughout the ps3/360 era. EA sold their typical numbers without putting much money into those versions. Add in MUT revenue and this was probably their most profitable game on those consoles ever.

MUT has been a big deal for them for years so that goes without saying. But in terms of units, they're having to release on 4 consoles to make that number now as opposed to two, that's actually not an ideal situation unless we look at the lack of effort they put into 15 on 360/PS3 as a positive for them and from a development standpoint it is a positive, but it's bad for the consumer who still relies on last gen.

I was thinking those were just ps3/360 numbers. If those are totals, madden 15 want that much better than past versions. Whos to know though now that digital sales are so hard to track. Madden was the number 2 game nationwide this year so I have to believe EA is satisfied with what Madden delivered money wise.

Certainly.

I don't think selling 5.43 Million copies of a game is ever a bad thing. But I'm also sure they'd love to go back to the days when they were moving over 4 Million units on just one console (PS2 era), or even back to the time when they were pushing 9 and 10 Million units total respectively (Madden's 06 and 07).
