Wow, not even close to being a relevant comment. Madden never had selling power in Japan, SPM has, and the boost was due solely becuase of the holiday, while the past games didnt have such a period.
Pretty easy to understand.
Congratulations, you've stumbled upon a vast conspiracy that a cadre of cultists have worked secretly to keep hidden for thousands of years -- consumers buy more shit when they get cash from holidays.
Now that we're done rationalizing away the sales, let's again stress that it
doesn't matter whether people bought the game because it was near a holiday -- they still bought it, those are still purchases made, it still adds to (not depletes) the game's success.

I just don't have high hopes for either game.. It's Token support IMO and that's all. I don't blame them, there is no way they predicted the wii would sell so well.
It's not token support. You people just have shitty, unreasonable expectations.
Their level of early, committed support before the console even launched (before E3, before any of the success it attained) steamrolls over what pretty much every other company was offering.

Things are different now though and I personaly expect something at the same level of expected quality as FF13. If i own the dominant japanese system i should get the kind of support that usually goes with that.. Something really major and serious and big. Something I can get excited about buying. FFCC is a poor replacement for a real FF game if the original is any indicator and DQ swords is on rails... I want a big time RPG.
Oh, boo hoo, it's on rails. Go cry me a river.
