A man from Raven Software has promised to pay for your copy of Wolfenstein if the game outsells Madden NFL 10 in August.
Manveer Heir said as much on his Twitter the other day, and later clarified that he would be using NPD numbers to confirm, and that if you keep your receipt and follow him on Twitter you're eligible, even if you live outside the US.
Heir, who is lead designer on an unannounced Raven game and describes himself as "an obsessive drunkard" on his profile, also added that this is only good for one copy per person.
"I know it's not likely that we beat Madden, but we gotta try!"
Madden NFL 10 is due out tomorrow, 14th August in Europe, while Wolfenstein should be available next Friday, 21st August. We'll certainly have a review of the latter soon, although next week's gamescom might hold it up.

You see, this is real clever, it's actually an impossibility that Wolfenstein could outsell Madden, but this will encourage people to make sure they rush out and buy it day one in the hope that they might be getting the game for free. Clever.
Reminds me of one of those funfair games that you have literally zero chance of winning. |

Worldwide offer...but he's only using NPD? Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't NPD report the NA region only?

Hey, on the flipside, if it DOESN'T outsell Madden, they take down all their stupid, intrusive banner ads on Eurogamer that make my browser slow to a crawl!

They'd probably go bankrupt if this actually happened. Considering the publisher sells the game to retail for a lot less than consumers pay they'd loose money on every copy redeemed.
I agree though it is a pretty safe bet they'll just get a few daft people to buy a copy in the hope it will be free. |

I really should see a doctor about that. In the meantime.. I think it's the swine-flu. ;) I'll be buying it because it's Wolf and I've played every one and I'm hoping for that fond nostalgia hit. The more basic graphics actually reinforce that a bit for me. Besides I never get enough supernatural-nazi shooting. Funny, regular nazi shooting has got a bit old for me but I never turn down the chance to take down a power-armoured, mini-gun wielding Hitler. :) |

I don’t think it sounds desperate - I reckon he's just being cheeky and having a bit of a laugh.

1. It will not outsell Madden
2. Even if it does, he can back out of the deal 3. Not everyone will send the receipt to him |
