Amazon Madden NFL 09 sales percentages
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Xbox 360 31% (39% total)
PlayStation 3 26% (33% total)
Wii 12%
PlayStation 2 11%
Xbox 360 – 20th Annv. 8%
PlayStation 3 – 20th Annv. 7%
PlayStation Portable 4%
Nintendo DS 1%
Keep in mind that these are just sales from Amazon. If I had to predict, I’d say that the Wii sales overall for the game is probably a bit less than 12%. I suppose that isn’t terrible since Nintendo owners aren’t known for snatching up sports games.

“No announcement has been made.” – Nintendo statement (NOE)
Usually, Nintendo provides that “Sorry but we don’t comment on rumors and speculation” response. Nintendo isn’t confirming anything, but does anyone else believe Nintendo is going to make an announcement about the game soon?
High Voltage Software aiming for a March release for The Conduit
Posted on 16 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Small update: I’ve embedded the video. The release date discussion comes towards the end.
High Voltage Software put out a press release in June. Included in the release was a launch window for The Conduit – Q1 2009. However, it looks like the specific month has been narrowed down for the game’s launch window. When Gamereactor asked when The Conduit is scheduled to launch, Eric Nofsinger noted that the team is “looking at a March release of next year” for the game. It’s possible that the title could be bumped back or even pushed forward, but as it stands, expect a March release for The Conduit.
