the 360 still sold over half a million copies of madden 10 over the PS3, 5 million more Households also have a Xbox than the ps3, Those numbers tell me that the 360 Will still sell more copies. Unless the PS3 overtakes the Xbox, More copies of Madden will be sold for the 360.

At a 30%+ failure rate. Odds are there's 5 million bricked systems out there. I have one here that's out of warranty and in need of repair, but good old ever taking care of the customer M$ wants $99 to fix it. I isolated the problem to the DVD Drive, and ordered a new laser for $14. But then, I have 2 XBox 360's as one is almost always broken in some form or fashion.

From everything I've read it's much easier to dev on 360 and port to ps3 then vice versa. Also, I'd imagine that there'd be an adjustment period as most of the team has been dev'ing on xbox 360 for this gen. I'd bet that this trend will continue, although I'd expect more and more parity across the platforms as the years pass.

Whaa?

I suspect EA will continue to develop Madden on the 360 simply because the 360 is easier to develop on from what I understand.

Didn't say that, at all.

Not fanboying, just stating reality.

You have that backwards. A lot of companies are starting to use the PS3 as the lead platform due to the difficulty of moving from the 360 to the PS3. Haden Blackman, the lead designer for Star Wars: The Force Unleashed talked about this a few yrs ago at GDC.
