This is fantastic. SCEA deserves every ounce of it, too.

People playing Road to the Show or using Player Lock as a pitcher probably throw the stat off-kilter.

So April NPD just came out and MLB 14 PS3/Vita didn't chart in the top 10 for the first time since I can remember... Been saying all along that the next-gen thirst is real and people are tired of their 8 year old consoles, maybe now we can firmly leave the PS3 version in the rear view mirror.

As an Oriole fan I do not know how to take them being the most popular team.

Congrats SCEA. Well deserved.

I hope Ea-sports takes notes with the quality this Sony's dev team gives us with this game. When you make quality games, people will buy and you will. Madden and Nba Live need to strive for this.

I think Madden still outsells The Show like 5 to 1, or possibly more lol

Not saying The Show isn't a much, much better game... just saying that EA doesn't care. They know as long as they have the exclusive rights to the NFL and they put out a decent game people will buy it in droves.
