ESPN's Countdown to the Cover for EA Sports' Madden 08 continues, this time with a story on Madden Nation.
EA Sports has sold over 57 million copies of Madden over the past 17 years. Madden NFL 07 sold 7.82 million units since its August 22, 2006 launch, including two million copies in its first week at retail. That made it the number one selling game in North America last year and it's the top-selling franchise in North America (lifetime).
