No matter how great ESPN is, it will never outsell Madden.

Yeah right, with EA adding XBOX Live this year EA will sell even more. And remember Madden even outsold ESPN last year without XBOX Live and overall about 5 to 1. It'll take years, if ever, before ESPN would outsell Madden.

Why is there ANOTHER ESPN vs Madden thread? and why is it on the NCAA board?

Because anytime sales numbers are brought up it's inevitable.

I'll take that bet. Now that EA is on XBL, you'd be a fool to be serious with that comment.

When people see what espn has done to take advantage of the xbox and xbox live then they might not be so quick to jump to madden.

That's hope you're posting. A fools hope, but hope nonetheless.

ESPN was outsold by Madden ALREADY... most ESPN fans also bought Madden, not the other way around....

ESPN SHOULD sell better than last year though, b/c it was an impressive game. I won't get it this year though... the game just doesn't "feel" right. Maybe a rental.

ON TOPIC... I would like to see the NCAA sales numbers if anyone can find them.... please?

NCAA sold close to 2 million copies last year, and was easily the #2 football title on the market.

I work in the industry, so trust me on that one.
