It's a fantastic game, mainly because the wiimote serves as a prefect aiming reticlue, improving on basically the only flaw of the original games. Personally I give it a 9.6/10

That having been said, I hope the sales of this game don't give game studios the idea that they can port old games to Wii and it'll instantly sell well. They, like Capcom, would have to really take full advantage of motion controls and include plenty of bonus content.

Keeping my fingers crossed they don't get lazy...

The sales increase is more a result of the price drop I'm sure.

Personally, i think their E3 showing was less than stellar. That alone wouldn't be enough to move all those extra units.

I smell Duke Nukem Forever as a launch game!!!!!!!!! :roll:

"Football is a game of split second decisions, and simulating the sport on the Xbox 360 will soon let you split those seconds more finely. 1UP is reporting that this summer's major pigskin simulators -- EA's Madden NFL 08 and NCAA Football 2008 and 2K Sports' All-Pro Football 2K8 -- will run at 60 frames per second on the Xbox 360 and 30 frames per second on the PS3. The move represents a jump from previous Madden games, which ran at 30 frames per second on all platforms, including the Xbox 360 and PS3.

While the additional frames mean smoother, more fluid animation in the 360 versions, it's still unclear how the jump will impact graphical fidelity or resolution. A comparison between both versions of last year's Madden 07 conducted by Gamespot showed the 360 version had "sharper textures on the character models in the close-up shots shown between plays." In comparing this year's games, 1UP simply stated that "All-Pro Football 2K8 definitely runs better on Xbox 360."

The reasons behind this frame rate difference are hard to pin down. Todd Sitrin, EA Vice President of Marketing Sports Branding, told 1UP that there are trade offs in designing football simulations and that "every company making a football game this year made a decision that the best experience for the Xbox 360 included 60fps whereas the best experience for the PS3 was 30fps." Extra time and familiarity with the Xbox 360 hardware could have influenced the development, as could the purported difficulty in programming for the PS3's multi-processor architecture."
