Madden patch-the biggest bust since Ryan Leaf

PS3 - Madden NFL 08 - Madden patch-the biggest bust since Ryan Leaf

Even as a kid I did better than them with the updates, and I didn't get paid for it.

On top of it, the "patch" for the PS3 worked out to be more like a virus. Downloading the batch has caused PS3's to not even load Madden discs. So a little word of caution; DON'T DOWNLOAD THE PATCH.

PS3 - Madden NFL 08 - EA responds to the PS3 Glitch Patch and new update

EA has put a new roster update online. However, it looks as though these "new" rosters are simply the default rosters. What does this mean? Well, for now Michael Vick is back in the game. In addition, there are 3-4 players per team that aren't accurate because the default rosters come out every year before teams make their final cuts.

American Sales: BioShock 400k, PS3 43k, 360 64k, Wii 101k

PS3 News from N4G | Madden NFL 08

PS3 - Madden NFL 08 - American Sales: BioShock 400k, PS3 43k, 360 64k, Wii 101k

With a 400k debut, Bioshock has a pretty legitimate shot at 1,000,000 units long term. For a sense of scale though - even in week two Madden (across all platforms) - outsold the game.

With the Americas data now in, it is time for the weekly look at Vgchartz sales data. For the week ending August 25, Xbox 360 saw the release of a key release - Bioshock. Additionally, numbers for Madden NFL 2008 in week two across all platforms were quite similar to the debut of Bioshock. That said, it is important to note that Xbox 360 hardware did not see a boost. For more on the current generation hardware sales (PS3,Wii, 360, DS, PSP) as compared to last week, check the chart.
