No way EA would do that to Sony. Madden is the most powerful annual franchise game in the industry. The next one will launch with the PS3. Hell I wish it would launch with the 360, cuz I know I'm getting one. I just don't see EA doing this UNLESS they are compeltely changing their business model. I'll eat the crow if I'm wrong...but I have a feeling I won't be plucking feathers this fall.

Fair enough, but i still dont think EA wants to ignore XBOX Live, its too big of an audience to ignore. over 2 million subscribers alone. Not that every one of them will buy madden but a big chunk of them will.

Heck i'll put it too you this way ...if it doesnt come out for the 360 on launch day ..i'll be HELLA PI**ED ....lol.

EA is going where the money is. EA is not going to sit back and wait for the PS3 launch. That would be completely insane. EA would lose so much money!!! They are a software company people! I believe EA does not have a "deal" with Sony that they have to cater to their needs first.

No matter how awesome the Xbox 360 might be, people are still going to get the PS3.

And also, these games will be displayed and played at E3. They have to. These companies need all the hype build-up they can possibly get.

Extreme hype="blind purchases"=more sales=more money.

ONLY nfl game in town= sales through the room on whatever platform the game is on.

they wont lose out on anything, obviously... there is no competition as stated before.

They should and would be stupid if they didnt have it at launch for all three systems.

Of course, though, they can wait all they want because there wont be another title to take away the sales...

Itll be a decision alot of us might like shortterm but hate longterm.

If its just a video at E3, it sure wont be launching this year IMO

I have no idea what's planned for E3 in terms of the xbox360 but I'm sure they'll show something but not much is ever at E3 for games coming out in November. A new console will make it different but they may not have any playable demos. My guess is they'll have some playable demos but I wouldn't be surprised if Madden wasn't one of them.

Heres to hoping that it is

Now this being a new game on a new console your right, it does make things different.

Im just hoping that like usual ..by E3 the game is close to being complete ...by that i mean about 3-4 months away from being finished.

Especially since i'll be at E3 this year...EA's booth is the first thing im hitting
