What else were people going to buy? The industry has become homogenized, with few if any interesting or unique titles. Couple that with a transition to new hardware and it only thinned things down even further.

As for penalties, it seems EA is moving in the right direction in terms of providing products to reflect the sport, it's just they are going at a snail's pace with Madden. Yearly cycles, lack of a competing NFL game, more complex coding requirements for more advanced systems, and yes sitting pretty at #2 in sales, will probably keep Madden moving at a snail's pace too.
