Madden NFL 13 Sees Big Sales
Through the first week of being on sale, Madden NFL 13 sold 1.65 million copies, an 8 percent year-over-year increase from last year, according to EA's internal estimates. EA also says there was a 31 percent increase in the number of online games played year over year with more than 24 million games recorded.
"We're thrilled to see the great momentum continuing on Madden NFL 13," said Andrew Wilson, EVP of EA Sports "The overwhelming feedback is that this is the best Madden NFL game in a generation.
"Fans are competing in record numbers, and we expect that type of engagement to only grow with the start of the NFL regular season last night, as fans connect with their favorite teams and players through our game."
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
