This must not be too shocking as Madden has historically been the most important seller of August. NPD Analyst Mit Piscatella recalls, "Since 2000, Madden NFL Football is the best-selling game of August each year, with all the exceptions of 2011 and 2012, when Madden NFL launched within the Madden Overdrive Coins September tracking period." Guess which games were the most effective selling of people two Septembers? (The answer is Madden)

The odd part isn't about Madden's success, though. What is truly shocking is the fact Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 shows up within the charts. A game released nine in the past is charting alongside current hits and in front of some in the biggest games of this season.

Have we entered an occasion warp? This is likely because the experience was added on Madden NFL Overdrive Coins Xbox One backward compatibility recently. Piscatella states, "The title was added towards the Xbox One Backward Compatible Game Library on August 28, propelling the title around number 8 around the August best-sellers chart."
