Madden Sales Down Significantly This Year

[hanzsomehanz]

Really, it comes down to three possibilities:

A) Consumers are holding out for Nex Gen

B) Consumers are holding out completely

The third possibility is that consumers will simply wait and see.

It's 50/50 whether it's related to the current state of Madden or people are simply fed up with Madden all together. There is a higher chance that people simply want to dedicate time to other games and are not so much fed up with Madden but have found a greater appeal in other games.

Is it also possible that consumers cannot afford Madden this time around? IT is but it still could be related to investments into the Next Gen platforms and saving up for those costs.

It will be interesting to see where MAdden sales are around Christmas time and Black Friday. I would write it off as a competition strike - Madden is losing sales to their video game competitors.

So what is the next excuse in line? People can make any excuse they want, but at the end of the day, people find money for great games.

Of course not, but if you're going to be spending several hundred dollars on a console, some things are going to be trimmed out of your budget, like the game you might re-buy in a few months for your shiny new box.

The way the two figures fit is funny is all, nothing more.
