Comparing two completely different sports and then using the sales performance of one to justify never releasing the other is completely flawed logic.
Madden and NHL are not interchangeable. They have different audiences, different regional strengths, and completely different engagement patterns. Just because Madden underperforms on PC does not automatically mean NHL would do the same. That’s like saying "Baseball games don’t sell well, so basketball games shouldn’t be released either."
One sport's weak numbers are not a universal market signal.
They’re simply a reflection of that franchise, and in Madden’s case, the decline is arguably EA’s own doing — from years of neglected PC versions and feature-limited ports.
Meanwhile, NHL has never even been given a proper shot. No test release. No demo. No modern PC version — for 17 years. There is zero data to support the idea that “NHL would fail too.” All that exists is assumption, built on the performance of a completely different product.
That’s not business logic. That’s just lazy thinking.
Comparing two completely different sports and then using the sales performance of one to justify never releasing the other is completely flawed logic.
