Madden Sales Down 18% Y-o-Y in October

[kjcheezhead]

I have a feeling the holiday season will put Madden back to last year's numbers or better just like last year. I have relatives coming over whose kids really like madden 11. I went to pick it up for the ps3 used this past week and couldn't find a copy at all, new or used...in 3 different gamestops.

Big change from when I traded my copy in September and there were dozens of used copies on the shelf.

If you don't mind, what's specifically?

Happy Holidays LT!

I would classify it as sectors and regions. I know an IT Recruiter and other recruiters in this area that have taken it on the chin in the last few years.

I just think it depends on the area and vocation you are in. Just last night, one of my son's friends father knows what I do. He's a diesel mechanic, but doing landscaping right now in the middle of winter and he said, it's barely covering the bills. I know for a fact he goes the used game route for his children.

Same country, different economies where it could affect your families purchasing power.
