Madden NFL 09 Coming to Xbox
No, that’s not a typo — Madden NFL 09 is coming out on the Xbox 360. You know, that big, black Borg cube that you keep around solely because your 360 won’t play Deus Ex: Invisible War? Yeah, EA is releasing Madden on that.
The discovery was first made by EastBayRI, when a writer noticed that the original Xbox was listed among the consoles on a press release. Understandably confused, said writer contacted EA’s Anthony Stevenson, who had this to say:
Our consumers play a big role in deciding what platforms to release games on. Last generation consoles, e.g. Xbox and PS2, proved to still be viable platforms last year, so as long as enough people are playing on them, there’s a chance we’ll release a game for it.
…uh… hmm… what?! The original [censored for the children] Xbox?! …whatever, man. Your money to waste, I guess.
(thanks Rick!)

So what? So what? How about the fact the original XBox is a dead system? Microsoft isn’t making any of them anymore. They might as well release it on the Dreamcast, PS1, and Atari 2600.

Funny you all b***h about the original, but it was the dogs back in the day and people still use them for linux etc so why not release games for the console? They are still graphically able to play new releases when the game makers push themselves hard enough. To me it seems like EA are giving something back to the people (sure they are in it for the money also) They are just trying to keep one of the best consoles of all time alive.

I am so glad they are bringing out Madden NFL 09 for the original X-Box because that is the only system that i own and i am really looking forward to playing Madden 09 for the X-Box.
