Evil Demon55 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I was watching the Science Channel the other night, and it was about the evolution of games and military. It went on to showing Wolfenstein 3D, and outlawed in Germany and creation of Doom, ect... Anyways, as they were talking about Wolfenstein 3D, they started talking about the new Wolfenstein game coming out for the Xbox 360. They ssaid that if you buy the new Wolfenstein in the month of August and it outsells Madden 10, you will get a check for $60 back if you keep your recipt and show them. I did my research, and here you go. Lead designer of Raven Software Manveer Heir has offered to pay gamers back for their copies of Wolfenstein if the game outsells Madden NFL http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/lib/imgs/grey_loader.gif . His Twitter post reads: “Here’s the deal folks: if Wolfenstein outsells Madden 10 in August I will personally pay for your copy (keep your receipt) – SPREAD THE WORD” Later, Heir added some information about his offer: “Rules clarification since I’m getting questions: Any platform, using NPD numbers, need a copy of your receipt, you must follow me on Twitter.” We can assume that the offer is only valid in North America, seeing as NPD only offers services for video games in one part of the world. So, be sure to follow the man and save your receipt, in case hell freezes over and Madden doesn’t sell like hotcakes http://www.digitalbattle.com/2009/08/13/wolfenstein-free-if-outsells-madden/ Anyone know where to find the top sales list for the month of Aug.? Edit: Has there already been a thread made for this topic? Not sure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punker Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 That'd be a great deal, if there were any conceivable chance of it outselling Madden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil Demon55 Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hah, yea. And you cannot buy it online or from Wal-Mart, those recipts don't count. Also, could you move this to games -.- no idea why I put it in off-topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punker Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/NPD_2008_in_review This is just some Wiki site, so obviously the credibility is questionable, but here's the NPD data I found for August 2008-- Madden NFL 09 (X360) - 1.0m Madden NFL 09 (PS3) - 643K Madden NFL 09 (PS2) - 424.5K Wii Fit (Wii) - 394.9K Mario Kart (Wii) - 328.7K Wii Play w/remote (Wii) - 200.2K Soul Calibur IV (X360) -174K Too Human (X360) -168.2K Madden NFL 09 (Wii) - 115.8K Guitar Hero: On Tour (NDS) - 111.2K I have to admit... the inclusion of Too Human on that top 10 list kinda shocks me.

KFZ Scrubs Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Lol, i was going to make a thread about this until i saw that he withdrew his offer to do so. Great promotional offer.... even though we all knew that there was no way in this world that it'd outsell madden. Still though....a pretty ballsy move.

punker Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 He withdrew the offer? Seriously? That seems completely pointless. He didn't stand to lose any money from the deal, since like we've said, there was never a chance that it would outsell Madden. At the very least, it looks like a nice-- albeit empty-- gesture.

Spanky4G63 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Sooooo I'm guessing don't follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolyatkcinmai Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 It's too bad, because this really should happen. I saw it posted earlier this week. I'll be picking up Wolfenstein tomorrow morning, but I'm only renting Madden this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSizzle Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 There is no way it outsells Madden. I'm assuming that is why it was withdrawn. I already bought my copy of Madden and am enjoying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why it was withdrawn... i mean if there was no way that it could have won anyway.. then he had nothing to worry about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark lord me Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Ok if they really want a FAIR fight Madden vs Modern Warfare 2 If it's to show them how mush shooters and M rated games do put that up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel301 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Ok if they really want a FAIR fight Madden vs Modern Warfare 2 If it's to show them how mush shooters and M rated games do put that up How is that a fair match? Didn't Call of duty 2, 3, and Modern Warfare get game of the year? Madden Sells at least 2m copies before the year is over, but no matter what madden will never beat COD gamo a gamo .

Tyger7 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 He'd probably only have to buy a few hundred copies anyways based on people actually reading and following his twitter and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFZ Scrubs Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Ok if they really want a FAIR fight Madden vs Modern Warfare 2 If it's to show them how mush shooters and M rated games do put that up IMO... that is in no way a fair fight. Also, that'd be kind of dumb because the only reason he made that offer is because he knew that Wolfenstein wouldn't beat out Madden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolyatkcinmai Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Ok if they really want a FAIR fight Madden vs Modern Warfare 2 Lolwut? Madden vs MW2 is not even close at all. Especially since this guy said first month sales. Modern Warfare 2 would absolutely annihilate Madden. Remember that very few people outside of America would even purchase Madden (I can't even imagine why people within America do). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v SnOwMaN v Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Highly doubt it will outsell madden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSizzle Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Madden won't outsell MW2 but it will sell alot of copies and guaranteed more than Wolfenstein. Madden is always one of the top sellers every year ( at least in America). I buy it every year for my love of football. I have to admit that this years Madden looks very impressive graphic wise. The best yet imo. I enjoy the franchise mode and play it well after I get a 1000 on it. This years was a ridiculously easy 1000. I got it in a day or so. I'm about to start up my franchise.

Turkey2242 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 There is no way it will outsell madden.. thats like saying Assassins creed 2 will outsell Modern Warfare 2 in November *Im not saying Assassins creed 2 isnt going to be an amazing game, im saying MW2 is just going to be a WHOLE lot better!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creech Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 Hah, yea. And you cannot buy it online or from Wal-Mart, those recipts don't count.

xI C0uch P0tat0 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 No way it's going to outsell Madden. Everybody is always hyped for Madden every year and Wolfenstein won't outsell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Grif55 Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 I don't get what's so special about Madden. I don't find it that fun, if I get the new one it'll be mainly because the Steelers are on it this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daiphyer. Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Wolfenstein used to be a pretty big game ... what happened to the old-days gaming people ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightbeam Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 People are ignorant enough to buy the same game with a new game cover and a number change. yaaaay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
