The August NPD video game sales figures have dropped, and further substantiate our previous post on Madden's beastly first month of sales.
1up has the sales figures, and Madden takes the top three spots. The Xbox 360 version leads the way with an even million units sold, the PlayStation 3 version comes next with 643,000 units, and the PS2 version comes in a very respectable third with over 424,000 copies sold. The Nintendo Wii "All Play" version comes in a solid ninth in the top ten, with almost 116,000 units sold - that's a lot of waggle.
So now we can see how Madden earned $135 million. Yikes.

In site-specific news, we are working on the first of our regular Friday features. While articles throughout the week may range in size from quick tidbits to full features, we would like to offer you, the viewer, something to rely on: a marquee feature, each and every Friday. The first of these is, appropriately enough, coming tomorrow, and we are working on the necessary research right now.
And by research, we mean playing some sports games, so we will get right back to it here shortly.
