My thoughts exactly. I always been a Madden fan, but I've been playing Fever for Xbox. So now no Fever and Madden on Live= Big sales.

Yeah except that gives ESPN a 2 week headstart on Madden. ESPN is doing well for themselves, but I think for all their fans who thought they would outsell Madden this year reality just spiked a ball in their face.

But aside that, espn still couldn't outsell madden despite the 20 dollar price lol. Oh well at least both games are good.

Even when ESPN had a 2 week head start they couldn't compete with Madden on there opening 1st week.

Who thought ESPN would sell more than Madden? Of course not, Madden has a MUCH MUCH bigger fan base. I don't think any ESPN fan thought the game would outsell Madden. TT got their goal. They wanted some Madden guys try ESPN. They don't care if that same guy buys Madden also.

do you really think some people thought it would out sell Madden. Most of us knew it wouldn't.

ESPN has got to be disappointed though, I think that they were thinking that they would at least cut into Madden sales, but they've failed to at least try to do that.
