Move over John Madden and EA Sports, as it’s been reported that NBA 2K14 is the hottest sports game in the US on both next gen consoles.
NPD released their first research on tends with the new next gen consoles which were released last month, gamespot.com reported on Friday.
“Earlier this year we promised that NBA 2K14 would be our biggest and best NBA 2K experience yet, and today we’re thrilled to see fans agree, as NBA 2K14 is now the number one selling sports game on next-gen consoles.” Jason Argent, VP of Basketball Operations for 2K said in a statement.
Argent continued: “NBA 2K14 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One distinguished itself by providing an entirely new experience designed specifically for next-gen platforms, featuring all-new game modes distinct from the current-gen version of NBA 2K14. We partnered with the King of Basketball, LeBron James, as our cover athlete and delivered an unprecedented level of realism, making NBA 2K14 a showcase for the potential of next-gen gaming.”
When you factor in sales on Xbox 360 and PS3, Madden 25 was the winner, however the new version of 2K14, that’s even stronger than the same title on Xbox 360 and PS3 was enough to put 2K in front.
EA Sports delivered their basketball title, NBA Live, to both next gen consoles, for the first time in six years. But the title has received harsh criticism on the web. It didn’t even come in the top 10.
