None of this will matter next year when ESPN goes back to $50 they will lose half the sales they gained this yr.ESPN fo $20 great game for $50 not worth it.

Oh, please guy...spare us all.

I'd really like to see your "facts" in the comment "you really get what you pay for."

I like all this competition; it's good for us. Right now, I have THREE freakin' football games in my rotation, along with MVP Baseball... it's insane.

But to make comments like that... please...

Well it's definitely not being reflected in the sales numbers. Whether or not people purchase the game and don't like it, the fact is they are purchasing the game more than ever before, and that has to count for something....

Until EA has a year where they DO NOT have the sales numbers as they do right now, only then can those that are "tired of not getting much year after year" going to make a difference.

They can say the game is boring and not worth it, yet they go and buy it year after year. Hypocrites.

Your right, it isnt a low blow. Unil Sega gets their act together with the most horrible gameplay ever, they will continue to lag in sales. Some poeple just love the cream I guess, shame really.

This is true. Did you guys ever see that Pepsi commercial where little Jimi Hendrix prefers Pepsi and then buys a guitar instead of the accordian?

You should see how those Coke fanboys are acting on the official Coke message boards.

If money were an issue,they wouldn't have dropped the price.

That being said

ESPN 2K4 lifetime sales-300,000 at $50=15 million dollars
ESPN 2K5 in 12 days-800,000 at $20=15 million dollars
