This was a very smart move. There's no way he's ever going to have to pay out (and even if Wolfenstein did somehow outsell Madden, you can bet he'd find a way to weasel out of the bet), but it will generate a lot of interest in the game and I bet Wolfenstein sells a lot more than it might have otherwise.

Madden only really sells for the first month anyway. the next time mit sales is like December/Jan after the price Drop

So it wont even beat the Price dropped madden

Maybe with Maddens retirement from football broadcasting this will drop sales to epic lows creating a void only Wolfenstein will fill. Cause we all know everyone just buys the game for Madden and not this little thing called football. On a side note, when has good old fashioned killing get beat out by sports with their so called "rules and regulations"?

Very clever marketing ploy. I hope Wolfenstein sells well. Obviously it has no chance of beating Madden sales, but maybe this will give it a boost.

I want Wolfenstien anyway-I mean it's Raven, it's virtually guaranteed to be at LEAST really strong-so maybe I'll do this, even though I know it won't win, and I'm not going to sign up for Twitter just for this.

The games that sell just piss me off sometimes

Hilarious. If Herr Heir had the hundreds of millions of $ he would need for reimbursement, he wouldn't be designing video game sequels.

People are still stupid enough to buy a new crappy sports game each year? Until EA started trying new things like Mirror's Edge and Dead Space they didn't have a quality title to their name. They ran everything into the ground.

Not that I want an FPS either unless it supports M/KB.

I like the idea, probably woun't do it even though this is the first time in years I'm not buying Madden out of the gate -- will wait for some sort of deal down the road.
