And this is not because exclusive licensing? It is a commonly known fact that a solid pro football game can support an entire sports gaming division. That's why there were so many competitors in the market. Hell, we have companies still making unlicensed football games. That's how much pro football is valued in the sports gaming market. I find it hard....impossible to believe that companies would've just stopped making football games if the license was available.
This would be true if there weren't companies out there willing to develop a NFL game. Again, I just find that hard to believe. In 2002, NFL Fever pushed the graphical limits. We are seeing the same thing with The Show. You wouldn't think that these first party companies wouldn't develop a NFL game to show off there hardware?
