Madden NFL 19

 

“Madden NFL 19 was the best-selling game of August 2018,” said Piscatella. “Launch month sales of Madden NFL 19 are the highest achieved since the launch of Madden NFL 13.”

 

Sam Darnold saving more than just the Jets.  #SecondComing

Spoiler

I am not surprised by the sales. Most major market teams are excited by their team(s) whether due to being good, LA and Boston, or exciting additions, NY and Chicago.  Plus Mahomes mania

Also this is a great month for Xbox. It added CoD MW 2 to its BC list and it is #8 in sales.  In July, MW2 was #321.  This clearly demonstrates its BC is an added value to its brand and is worth the investment. 

 

Question: Why isn’t CoD MW2 on Xbox’s top chart?
