Madden Sales Down 18% Y-o-Y in October

[Aggies7]

I agree pretty simple listen to your fans and provide them the product they want instead of trying to pull in a new crowd.

Edit: and to add to that they need to look at Nascar. Huge growing sport and they try to change it up to bring in new crowd and ratings have dropped off.

Are you comparing lifetime title sales of 06 to 13 weeks of Madden 11 or something? Where'd you possibly come up with 50%?

that number is actually correct.......

madden sales don't have a lifetime....once the next one comes out the old one never gets purchased lol.

has anyone bought a madden 07 lately?

im just clowning around man but statistically its true by comparison that the same time in 05 and 06 madden was pushing twice as many units.

Oh I know the economy has nothing to do with this what so ever. I was just saying if EA marketing department will use the economy as a excuse to keep adding gimmicks and other things that no fans ask for or will they finally start listening to us fans. I never did say the economy had anything to do with droping of sales.

it makes sense......i did notice about a half the people at midnight release as i did back in 06............those lines a sure getting smaller lol
