Last football game to outsell Madden?

Just curious...console or overall?

2k5 got close on the xbox, but Madden still beat it out....is the ps1 far enough back or would you have to go back to the genesis?

NFL Gameday MIGHT have, I'm not sure. If not, you'd have to go back to Tecmo Superbowl. I'm not even sure about that... depends on whether they released in the same year back then.

Would Gameday even count?...Wasn't that the year EA decided not to even release Madden?...That was 95 or 96, right?

Considering Madden didn't release because Gameday released the first 3d football game and forced the devs back to the drawing board, I'd say it counts.

According to vgchartz, Gameday 98 sold 1.54 million while Madden 98 sold 1.28 million.

the previous year EA Sports were saying, and I'm paraphrasing here, Polygonal football players were not possible that gen.

well Gameday 98 did it with a smooth frame rate, and out sold Madden....then the next year it was a miracle O_O we got Madden 99 with Polygonal players.....which is when I switched back to Madden, because Gameday series seemed to start getting too arcadey for my taste with Gameday 99.

LOVED Madden 99! I still remember the first pics released for the game. I believe it had Jets players in snow gameplay on GameFan magazine.

I think it was Gameday 98, not sure. That was the year where Madden 64 was out where it was only players and not real NFL teams. I think EA was late acquiring the NFL rights that year.

Just because it's not called football in america doesn't mean it's not football somewhere else....good point I suppose. Fifa really outsells Madden by that much? Something not quite right about that picture if true.
