MicroSoft and EA just shot themselves in the foot.
I don't know how much the rest of you know about American culture (I'm an expert), but Dudebro Shooter and Madden are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in Europe where you can become successful by presenting artistic stuff. If you screw Madden Fans over in the US, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the american public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase the NextBox as their system, nor will they purchase any of EAs games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but MicroSoft has alienated an entire market with this move.
EA and MicroSoft, publicly apologize for showing off FIFA instead of Madden for NextBox or you can kiss your business goodbye.
