It is very bad for Sony that EA sport games are better on the 360.

I think alot of people overlook the fact that there are a ton of gamers that just play sports game and only sports games. Call them casuals, call them what you want, but those are a very important gaming demographic because they will tell the other casuals " Get a 360 its the best for Madden" and undoubtly give the 360 a big advantage because believe it or not thats a very big market sector that buys consoles. I can always remember last gen so many of these casuals said " PS2 is better because it has the best sports games and madden is the best on PS2". Now the tide has turned and this is a big feather in Microsofts cap. Please feel free to comment, thanks.

EA did kill the dreamcast so I guess it's possible, they are the largest 3rd party publisher in the world with several killer apps that appeal to a variety of markets. Of course your games not running as well is alot different than your games no being released, and it didn't really seem to stop the ps2 any.

Casuals determine the winners of console battles, the people like us that are lame enough to hang out here are a drop in the bucket for sales. Whoever gets the casual market gets the win, thats why the Wii will outsell the 360 and PS3 combined.

Hmm- but the 360 is outselling the Wii & PS3 combined when it comes to games and that is what wins IMHO.

Yeah, I'm really liking the crazy good attach rates the 360 has, you can link it directly to every Sony 3rd party defection we have seen over the last year. I am also of the opinion that the 360 is not so hardcore as people say it is, can anyone here seriously claim Halo is hardcore? Halo's success is not because it is "hardcore" but because it's a game that appeals to the masses.

Ea announced at E3 that the sports games coming out next year for 09 will be created using the ps3 first then porting over to the 360 later so the issues in sports games wont be a problem anymore.

That may be true but now word on the street has it that the 360 is better for madden and ea games so Im sure the casuals arent going to know this. Basically the ball is rolling in favor of Microsoft.

I do 7.0 to 6.5 but thats not the most recently, the most recently is NHL and that scored higher on the 360.

No, NHL 08 scored the same on PS3 and the 360.

play on words, go look further in the review or look at the IGN review which more casuals go to anyway.

1. We only go by Gamestop scores on System Wars, it's in the sticky.

2. You specifically said that it scored higher on the 360, which it didn't.

It was bad for Sony when the first MaddenTV spot was released with the 360 logo at the end.When the highest selling game every year has a add for the rival system at the end you know bad things are happening at Sony right now.
