I just read on the home page that Madden sales have declined this year. And with NBA 2k looking to have made their best basketball title yet and including MJ in the game, is it possible for them to have a down year.

Or, is the reasoning behind Madden's sales going down (possible lack of change in the game from year to year) the only thing holding that franchise back and not the economy.

Would this be a good time for EA to let go of that NFL and NCAA license, allowing for better competition which should improve their own game? I would love to see 2k have another shot at a college basketball, football, and NFL football game.

I doubt it Man, look at last years sales with kobe on the cover.The game sold like crazy, now we have the Greatest player of all time on the cover, i think sales will eclipse last years.

I don't have anything good so say about Madden, so i will say nothing.

2K11 is going to sell like crazy. No question.

You asked would 2k11 have bad sales if its a great game but you used Madden as an example.

I don't want to go off topic much but Madden 11 is not a great game. There is a reason the sales are down.

There was a topic on here previously where you had a few guys that said they're getting the game just because of Jordan and we're people who dissect everything about the games we want to purchase but Jordan alone is enough to buy the game for people on here. Jordan sells therefore 2k will sell, sales should be fine.

I think the hype around 2k this year is MASSIVE. Not only because its the new NBA 2K game, but because the GOAT is on the cover. I just can't see 2K11's sales being lower than 2K10's IMO...

2K11 is going to fly off the shelves. MJ + Heat + Improved gameplay = Hit game

I think that only the economy can have any negative effect. Other than that, I don't see a reason why it should not sell well.
