You think it better than the modded (say SABO mod) M20 on PC?

If any game has more days on sale than the other it will sell more.

Madden 21 sold 20% better because it had more days on sale it’s first week than 20

Seeing EA touting sell-through after seeing them spend most of the week trying to give copies away either directly, or through their social media influencers is hilarious.

I work in corporate retail too during these trying times and can appreciate the mathematical gymnastics by the demand planning/public relations teams to try and grab onto something shiny to publish.

I don't... Otherwise, that would have led off the PR instead of "X hours of more playtime this year!".

Some people enjoy Madden. Some people enjoy MUT and The Yard, and competitive game mode.

I don't play those modes, but I can see why others do and enjoy the game.

Those people won't stop buying the game. We just have to hope they prioritize franchise like they are claiming they will do.

I haven't played on PC so can't say. I'm sure it's amazing. Unfortunately, the people using that mod represent a hyper-niche audience & always will.

This doesn't mean anything without the sell-in figures from last year and this year.
