When the full depth of the Tiger Woods sex scandal was revealed, Electronic Arts was one of the first companies to give a show of support for the embattled athlete. Still, the sales of Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 for the Wii declined 86 percent over last year, which Doug Creutz of Cowan & Company dubbed “particularly catastrophic.”
“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 permanently damaged the sales potential of what we believe to be EA’s third most important sports franchise, behind Madden and FIFA,” noted Creutz.
