Re: THE NFL2K AND MADDEN SALE THEORY

My thoughts are that madden has had the fan base for a really long time...Most people buy madden...Also because peoples friends buy it, then youre gonna buy it...I tell you though...If the Gameplay plays just as good as this game looks then the gap will close so much..There is buzz this year most people will buy madden but this year they are talking about espn and getting that as well...

Madden is #1 due to brand name recognition. Its the same idiotic reason Nomar Garciapara is leading vote getter amongst shortstops.

Re: THE NFL2K AND MADDEN SALE THEORY

I think it just comes down to fan base. Had the 2k series been on the playstation along with Madden, I think EA vs. Sega would be a dead heat in terms of sales. Everybody and their mama had a playstation so Madden got huge exposure and people followed the franchise over to the PS2. So Sega has basically had to start from ground zero and it will be years before we ever start realistically saying VC will come close to passing Madden in sales.

Re: THE NFL2K AND MADDEN SALE THEORY

They showed this segment on G4 last night that was the origin of EA. Really good stuff...but Madden's been arond for what...15 years now but probably 12 on the consoles...and they have built up a VERY LARGE fanbase.

So, Madden has already established a fanbase years ago. Also, who do you know wants to try something new AND challenging that may kick your butt for probably the first season and possibly will also make you learn all new controls, procedures, etc? Not many...only die-hards such as ourselves really gave the 2k series a chance.

Call me a graphics-whore or a fanboy but I purchase both "warring-factions'" games evry year but ever since last year there's no reason that from a quality standpoint that Madden should beat ESPN...NO WAY PERIOD.

But, big bank takes little bank, bullies beat up on small kids and Madden will continue to outsell ESPN. I don't even have a solution for ESPN. I just hope they can at least stay in the game so that they can continue to provide me QUALITY that most certainly will receive my $39.99 or $49.99.

Try less than 0.1 percent.

I haven't taken math in a few years... how is that different? 10% vs .1% -> 10%?
