I had never heard of Madden. Turns out to be a game about American
Football.
Although Madden was a chart topper in the USA it does not sell well to the
95% outside the USA and total sales figures seem to be around the 1M mark
for each incarnation, less than a tenth of Halo.

Very interesting though: I thought games consoles and their games were a
lot
more popular that apparently they are.
