In Germany it's FIFA, in the US it's Madden.

Let's sum it up. People *love* sports-game-crap. There's nothing anyone can do about it. I would never, never never never spend a dime on a game like this. But the masses do.

XBox intern:

Halo rank 3
Fifa rank 6

The are a lot of more people that own a PC or a PS2 than people that own a XBox360.
