It is not that bad. Look at Shaun White Wii. It ended up being better than the other versions even if it was "kiddy".

This is THE last Madden on Wii, so I would snatch this up if you can.

(Madden 2010 is on Wii, but they changed to an extremely kiddy art direction, think Backyard Football or Kidz Sportz, this isn't a joke, EA KILLED the madden series for Nintendo)

The "all play" thing could have been smaller, and a "with" would have been nice before it so it doesn't seem like a completely different game and not the real thing. any "others" sales?

a friend of mine was going to pick this game up for me. When he got back he told me he wasent sure if this was the true 09 version of madden because of the All-Play logo
that might be a reason why the 08 version still sell

LOL @
Voltaire

I clicked on this game thinking the exact same thing, the cover art is just horrible, it doesn't even look like its related to the other versions. It's sad its not selling as well. Wii has so many more systems out there that it is almost embarrassing that this being outsold by so much on PS3/360.

Have the game, its good, and while EA tried its best to make this appeal to the masses, its still Madden at heart. I stand by me saying the terrible box-art is a reason its sales are less than stellar.

A million for sure, it is tracking way above 08 which is 70,000 shy of a million and might even make it itself. Iratating that the PS3 has Others sales and the Wii doesn't. Judging by the PS3 I would say there is another 10k at least missing.

I really feel this game would have done better had it remained simply Madden 09. The All-Play name and atrocious boxart didn't help at all. Those thing probably hindered its sales.

Sure in the grand scheme of things it should be added up, but it's the same issue with so many other games.

Yea having EU sales would be pointless. At the most probably sold about 5,000 copies If that .01 is really that important then fine.

Well I wouldn't say, that they don't sell at all in Europe - the fanbase is just smaller. A friend bought it, and I will buy it as well.

Still I would reckon that there are at least 30-50k copies out in others. Most of the games are sold with a price tag...

madden 08 has sold 150k since 09 has come out...

Wii owners (parents) tend to gobble up games at the 29.99 and under price tags. 08 really started to do well when its price went down in the months before 09.

1 million is a sure thing, but it looks like shawn white will beat it for the best selling sports game (I am happy about that)

Should be over 600k by the end of the year and if its anything like the 08 version, it'll leg it out even til next holiday season. So easy platinum title for Wii.

the previous version sold really well in the holidays last year... so this could be at around 600-750k range by the end of the year, and then legs will carry it to a million...

Hey guys, compare sales for this game & the 08 version:
http://www.vgchartz.com/games/game.php?id=7178®ion=All

It outsold the 08 iteration in every of its 1st 10 weeks and that one sold 830k. So i'm sure this one will sell over 830k.

Adjusted downwards with 60k. Still 80k above NPD, does that mean ioi doubts NPD's tracking methods concerning this game?

All in all, over 200k within a month is still good.

The box art and the unnessesary 'all play' name will undoubtedly turn off veteran players, but i hear the game itself is very good (much like previous Maddens). Im sure it will sell very well, slowly maybe.

If NPD is right, this game is overtracked by over 100%. That means this game is selling exactly as well as Madden 08 for the Wii.

Ouch.

Total 800k
This years is pretty much guarenteed to hit a million.

This is very big for a Nintendo platform since the last time this happened is... i'm not even sure. I know there were some non madden NFL games on N64 that did a million.

each year it's going to sell closer to the 360 version because the wii sells almost 3× more then the xbox360 so it's only a matter of time till All games sell better on wii.......... I think madden09 might just pass a million then maybe they will put NCAA2010 online then I might buy that game two but sorry EA their wasn't enough effort put into NCAA09, maybe next year........btw I got madden09 and it's a big improvement from madden08 especially the online play, theirs almost know lag........

Zucas posted 30/08/2008, 07:53
Well 2nd week sales bode great things considering the dropoffs for Madden 08 on Wii were much more percentage wise closer to the 360 version dropoff of Madden 09. Meaning it's hard to say what sales will be like over the next week but I'd say we can expect about 40k-50k next week and then I'm thinking it will hit a leveling off point at about 15k-20k. And then like Madden 08 explode in the holiday season.

But basically within the next 10 weeks before the holiday season we are looking at about 250k-300k in sales putting it at 0.53 million in sales. And then the final 9 weeks of the year it could be anything from 300k-500k. But it'll go platinum either at the end of this year or the first quarter next year.

Haha when's the last time a football game has done this on a ninty console opening week since the N64 era eh.

Given the mainstream popularity of the Wii and the sales of the other 2 on Wii this should have great legs and probably this holidays push over a million no prob.

@WiiBox3

Yup, it took about a month for Madden 08 to get these sales. So now it isn't a matter of IF this will hit 1.2 million, but when. Madden 08 sold last week what it did on its 7th week of release.

The legs on this game will be even stronger.
