EA Sports Head Peter Moore has revealed that Madden NFL 2010 has managed to get 100,000 peak simultaneous users as well as other statistics.
According to Peter, that’s ”nearly 10,000 more people than can fit in the NFL’s largest stadium”. Alongside that, 5.6 million matches were played online in the game’s opening week. The fountain of knowledge that is Mr. Moore claims the figure is ”the equivalent of over 21,000 NFL regular seasons!”
Peter’s also pretty pleased about the new PS3 pricing point purely because “we know titles like Madden and NCAA Football have always had a very strong base of fans on Sony hardware” which is better than what our answer would have been:
“We are pleased by the potential increase of monies.”
