The football war continues
Well, it’s the 4th Quarter, Sega is behind and time is running out. The EA/Madden combo has really dominated through 3 1/2 quarters, but Sega is only one score behind. Sega is out of timeouts.
Sega is pulling out all the stops this time around. They’ve dropped the price by $30 and now they are releasing the game the same week as Madden. This is as about exciting as a political election!
Anyway, this is a *HUGE* gambit by Sega. If this fails, I think it’s Game Over. I mean, what else can you do to get people to buy your game? It beats me. Obviously having the better game doesn’t matter as Sega’s ESPN game was better last year by a mile. Why bother making a game every year if no one buys it? This would leave the whole thing over to Madden, which–don’t get me wrong it is a good game–by eliminating all competitors, where’s the incentive to innovate?
I know I’m going to buy both. Just do me a favor and give the Sega game a chance. I haven’t played this year’s yet, but don’t just buy Madden because it’s Madden, ya know?
