Sega Goes Cheap to Battle EA in NFL Game Sales?

An anonymous reader writes "According to as yet unconfirmed reports on DealRush.com, Sega is going full force at EA's football market share by slashing their football game's price by 60% and only asking $19.99 this upcoming year, instead of the usual $49.99. EA, the current market leader in football games, outsells Sega's title, year after year, by a wide margin. This year Sega may have adopted a new strategy to hook them with price, and follow through with quality in an effort to increase sales. EA has yet to respond. ESPN NFL ships in August for Playstation 2 and Xbox. [A GameSpot report has a Visual Concepts spokesperson indicating there will be 'big announcements regarding the game soon', but there's no official word.]"

Re:Correction

[meatbridge]

is this true even if they are referring to EA as an entity?

Where is NFL BLITZ!?!?

Am I the only creature on the face of the planet who remembers this game and NBA JAM! and thinks that it was 10X better than your avg. football game?

It was unique and creative and had ways for you to 'boost' and 'upgrade' your players as well as playing for the same teams that were in the current NFL league.

I like my games to have a lil more than your avg football game and especially hearing in NBA JAM where the announcer said "HES ON FIRE!" or in blitz where your guy would speed up and bust people up made that game more enjoyable.

I play games to escape reality, not live it.

Go back to thinking you've got some great intellect; your dream world is where you should stay.
