Yeah, but CH 2K8 was ahead for ~45 consecutive weeks. I'm guessing the later increase in MM 08 sales had more to do with greater availability or continued marketing by EA.

Which is why judging by sales is absolutely stupid since Madden04 was the last "good" Madden game, yet EA has posted record sales on NextGen consoles. Throw logic out the window.

I'm sure 2k made more of a profit because I don't think I ever saw a commercial for 2k8. MM 08 was marketed much more and didn't end up selling too much more. EA has always been known to advertise their games to great lengths and 2k is the complete opposite. If 2k would advertise their games more, they could easily sell more than EA year in and year out.

I think NBA 2k is doing good things...but yeah, you're right, the rest are packing it in.

It's like they(mostly EA) decided to try to use the excuse of "a new system" to try and milk customers for $$$ until they get the games back to where they already were on PS2.

It's biting them in the butt now.

Sucks they're canceling it. I LOVE this game...

Health Care reform...

Education reform...

Energy reform...

How about Video Game reform? There are a lot of buisness practices that are sending good games like NCAA 10 down the tube. For example:

-Relying on patches to iron out nagging issues that should've been resolved mid-development

-Leaving features/characters/unlockables out of the game on purpose, then charging you to download what they call "DLC".

Absolutely shameful...
