Electronic Arts is feeling pretty confident about its sales figures for August. The company announced today that according to internal sales figures, Madden NFL 11 is the top selling game in North America for August. In addition, EA projects an increase in sales of five percent year-over-year across all platforms for the month.
EA also says digital revenues for Madden NFL 11 are up more than 200 percent year-over-year, largely owing to the Ultimate Team mode. Since the title’s launch, gamers have averaged some two million online connected sessions each day with 20 percent coming from Online Team Play.
“Madden NFL 11 is the number one selling game in August, and the game has created enormous enthusiasm in the online community,” said Peter Moore, president of EA SPORTS. “Each day on consoles, fans are playing as many games online as the equivalent of 750 full NFL seasons. Now on Facebook, Madden NFL Superstars will bring a whole new dimension and audience to the Madden NFL experience.”
Madden NFL Superstars is an all-new NFL social game for Facebook.
