NPD software sales: America’s football boner has been sated

by Cory Birdsong on

Again, not too surprising.

EA collects its annual check drawn on John Madden’s name and it’s exclusivity contract with the NFL, games with the word Wii in them and other things in the box continue to sell like crazy. In sadder news, it doesn’t look like Too Human is going to get that trilogy, Denis, can we have some more Eternal Darkness? However, the saddest part of this list is that apparently, Guitar Hero: On Tour outsold every other rhythm game on the market. For shame, for shame. 01. Madden NFL 09 (Xbox 360) – 1,000,000

02. Madden NFL 09 (PS3) – 643,000

03. Madden NFL 09 (PS2) – 424,500

**04. Wii Fit (Wii) – 394,900

05. Mario Kart Wii (Wii) – 328,700

06. Wii Play (Wii) – 200,200**

07. Soulcalibur IV (Xbox 360) – 174,000

08. Too Human (Xbox 360) – 168,200

**09. Madden NFL 09 (Wii) – 115,800

10. Guitar Hero: On Tour (DS) – 111,200**
