March Sales: The Show Soars While 2K Sinks
This generation has generally shown that despite increased user base sports games don't see significant growth in sales year over year. They remain relatively stagnant seeing only small increases. NPD just released sales numbers for March and the two baseball titles have blown that pattern out of the water. MLB 09 The Show (PS3) saw huge growth while MLB 2K9 (360) actually dropped when compared their 2008 versions. Last year March sales of MLB 08 The Show didn't make the top 10 so a speci...

One of the NCAA Football 10 Cover Athletes
While the official announcements of the four cover athletes for NCAA Football 10 won't be made until Monday one of them is already known. Boucher1234 sent me a tweet this morning that Utah Utes QB Brian Johnson had dropped the news on a Mountain West focused TV show. Johnson is someone who would've seemed unlikely when it came to predicting but the choice does make sense. He isn't a household name but he did help lead Utah to an undefeated season and a win over Alabama in the Sugar Bowl. ...
