That pattern will hold true in the Next Generation and I wouldn't be surprised to see the NBA 2K series eventually go on to sell 20 million annually. https://forums.operationsports.com/f...on-copies.html

It's the perfect storm now in my opinion with the year of the fan that NBA 2K has been advertising with full customization and a more personal attachment to the game with facial scanning. With that I think NBA 2K15 will go on to sell over 10 million copies this year while Madden will stay around the 5 million mark as it has consistently done over the past 6 years. What do you guys think, am I far off or in my opinion or on point considering how sales have faired over the past several years?

The much respected Boilerbuzz thought I was as high as a kite, lol. This is what he said
" Yes. I think you are HIGH as a kite and should seek help with this addiction. Outselling Madden is impossible. I don't know if last year is a sustainable thing. I will also say that as much as the NBA genre has grown, the fact is that Madden has only disappointed more than 2K has grown. Football is just bigger in the US. And the rest of the world has not come on as strong as you would think."

I also wrote this blog https://forums.operationsports.com/t...-sports-genre/ back in 2013 predicting NBA 2K would reign supreme not Madden in sales. History will repeat itself as Madden has gone the route of merely upgrading there engine while NBA 2k has gone the route they went with the launch of PS4 and XBOX One and that is NBA 2K21 is being built from the ground-up to fully utilize the incredible power, speed and technology of the next generation systems.

BoilerBuzz's Hot Take Didn't Age well.

It would be nice to bring back some old threads just to see how well or poorly takes from several years ago have aged.

Steve: you probably thought about that already but that would be a cool added page to the Forum, Call it, "Hot Takes" let's see how well they aged in the past 5-6 years.
