Did Tiger's scandal cause the PGA Tour 11 sales decline?

Well they did insist on standing right by him. GamesIndustry reports that EA's Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 suffered a massive 68% drop in U.S. sales following his recent scandal. "Particularly catastrophic" is how this could best be described.

The Wii version alone was found to have slid a major 86% decline for Tour 11 as compared to Tour 10. Doug Creutz of Cowan & Company opines, "Although this is probably due in part to the fact that last year's version shipped bundled with Nintendo's new MotionPlus controller, we are concerned that Woods' scandal woes may have damaged the sales potential of what we believe to be EA's third most important sports franchise, behind Madden and FIFA."

 

 

 

 

 

We're pretty sure EA's also toying with this possibility as well, although we highly doubt they'll be saying that thought out loud if ever.

tiger remains to be a strong band, albeit tainted by his scandal. am sure, like his professional career, his games will survive this.

because of his "scandal". I'd like to think it's because it's the first game that requires the EA Online Pass. I know I'm not buying any game that supports it, then again, I don't buy EA or Activision games period.

But I must say, Deadspace was an awesome game and it's a shame I was forced to rent it.

# Sales decline lol — The Mor 2010-07-20 08:51
I'm pretty sure the sales decline is because if you put Tiger Woods 09, 10, 11, and probably 12 next year on TVs next to each other... 99.99 percent of the people couldn't tell which is which. The Tiger Woods series doesn't evolve at all. The Madden games are known for just adding 1 new feature and calling it new, but if you think about it, Tiger Woods is way worse.

The sales decline is due to piracy. Everyone knows that! (And for those who can't tel... its called sarcasm.)
